LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT/PROGRAM:
Ocean Conservancy’s Gulf Restoration and Fish Conservation program is a dynamic initiative focused on fully restoring the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. Ocean Conservancy has provided strategic leadership in addressing key threats facing the Gulf of Mexico for over two decades. Key accomplishments include successfully promoting the use of fishing gear that reduced incidental taking of endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles, transforming regional fishery management systems to focus on science based management plans that end overfishing and restore depleted fish populations, and launching the largest global volunteer event of its kind—the International Coastal Cleanup. We are now combining our regional expertise with a seasoned team of Exxon Valdez oil spill experts to ensure the effective restoration and enhancement of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem and its dependent communities. The Special Assistant of the Gulf Restoration and Fish Conservation Program will work in concert with our team of professionals to maximize the effectiveness of our work. Ocean Conservancy envisions a healthy and productive Gulf of Mexico that supports resilient ocean ecosystems and coastal communities.
