For more than 40 years, Ocean Conservancy has championed science-based solutions to the greatest challenges facing the ocean. With the support and advocacy efforts of our members

and conservation partners, Ocean Conservancy has played a key leadership role in winning many victories on behalf of the ocean. To cite a few, these victories include: securing significant improvements

to our nation’s fisheries manage-ment law while rebuilding vitally important fisheries;

establishing along the coast of California the nation’s only network of marine protected areas;

protecting the ocean’s vast array of wildlife—sea turtles, whales, dolphins and others—whose well-being has been jeopardized and habitats compromised;

hosting the largest global volun-teer effort annually to rid the ocean and other waterways of dangerous and unsightly trash; and

leading the charge for comprehen-sive restoration in the Gulf of Mexico following the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster.

Soon after taking the helm of the organization in February 2013, President and CEO Andreas Merkl kicked off a strategic effort to assess where we are now as an ocean conservation organization and where we should direct our efforts to achieve the most conservation impact going forward. We looked at the major forces affecting ocean health, Ocean Conservancy’s own history, our strengths and passions, and emerging issues—like climate change, ocean acidification and melting Arctic wildlife habitats—that put enormous stress on the ocean and its precious resources.

Our assessment revealed that our priorities are, indeed, the right ones.

First and foremost, Ocean Conservancy is convinced that we can achieve the greatest conservation gains by approaching conservation holistically, taking into account a region’s economic stability and human communities as well as its habitats, wildlife and the range of stressors that harm ocean health. We apply this ecosystem approach in the major places where we work and that our members love.

Second, Ocean Conservancy designs and implements science-based solutions to overcome the myriad threats facing the ocean, from increased acidity levels caused by rising carbon

dioxide levels to proliferation of marine debris that jeopardizes ocean life to the costly conflicts among ocean activities that result from the lack of smart planning for our ocean and coasts.

Our future efforts, like our current work, will be grounded in these two priorities.

Our research during this planning process also revealed that the enor-mous changes occurring in the ocean call for nimble, adaptive solutions to meet the increasing challenges to ocean health. And these changes are happening at the same time that technical, analytical and scientific tools to aid conservation are becoming more widely available.

Indeed, this moment presents an opportunity—and a great deal of hope for ocean conservation—for Ocean Conservancy, in collaboration with domestic and international partners, to strengthen our conservation impact in the face of these changes. And to accomplish those gains for the ocean, we will need the help, hard work and support of Ocean Conservancy mem-bers and allies.

We will proceed judiciously in 2014 to incorporate new areas of work into our current conservation agenda. For example, we will expand our focus in the Arctic from a solely U.S. approach to one that extends across the Arctic,

working to build an integrated approach to managing the ecosystems and activities in Arctic seas. With the opening of Arctic waters and the increased shipping that accompanies melting ice—as well as the changes that follow the widening of the Panama Canal—we will focus on the shipping risks that arise for the ocean, identifying the hot spots of risk from shipping and determining how best to mitigate them. We will bring our decades of fisheries management experience to places beyond our national borders to address ecologically destructive overfishing. And we will accelerate our analysis of plastic pollution, which harms ocean wildlife and habitats, with the goal of developing solutions to reduce it.

The confluence of a rapidly changing ocean and an explosion in demand for its natural resources, especially as the global population continues to increase, mandates that Ocean Conservancy redouble our efforts. New solutions are needed, and we will work with colleagues and experts the world over to discover and implement them.

As Ocean Conservancy moves forward to embrace this exciting future, we are grateful for the continued support of our members who make our work possible. We look forward to leading the way with you as our partners.

WELCOME

As we look back on 2013, we are convinced that Ocean Conservancy’s programs are stronger than ever as we continue to make progress in rebuilding fish stocks, tackling marine debris and combating emerging issues such as ocean acidification. We achieved significant milestones this past year, thanks to supporters like you who make our efforts possible and productive.

You helped us restrict oil and gas drilling in the fragile Arctic. We persuaded states to take action on ocean planning and ocean acidifica-tion. California’s marine protected areas are already demonstrating their effectiveness—and are being embraced by ocean enthusiasts throughout the state. Four years after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, we are successfully advocating use of restoration funds for projects that will lead to a healthier Gulf of Mexico. You once again supported our International Coastal Cleanup—the largest global

volunteer effort of its kind, and helped us use the Cleanup’s monitoring protocol to protect endangered sea turtles from harm caused by marine debris in their nesting habitats.

But all is not well in the ocean. Warmer and more acidic waters, retreating ice levels, and tremendous pressure from fishing, shipping and resource exploitation are stretching our current management methods way beyond what they are designed to do. How do we manage fisheries in an age when fish stocks are constantly shifting in search of cooler waters? How do we manage supertanker shipping through the newly ice-free “northern routes”? As the ocean undergoes these types of systemic change, Ocean Conservancy needs to lead the search for new solutions. Our scientists, fishery management specialists, policy experts, advocates and economists are determined to tackle these critical issues in the

years to come. We cannot do this alone—we need to build deep global networks of technical leaders and decision-makers, we need hosts of partners, and we need you.

The challenges in front of us are extraordinary, and we consider ourselves extremely privileged to do the work that we do. The problems can only be solved by working together, and we are immensely grateful for your continued dedication in our fight for a healthy ocean.

L VISION

Helped launch the first two regional planning bodies to engage decision-makers in smart ocean planningOcean Conservancy continues to lead the marine conservation community in calling for sound, coordinated planning for our ocean that balances competing uses such as alternative energy, industrial activities and recreation. Thanks to our efforts, the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regional ocean councils held their inaugural meetings this year—an indication of increasing commitment among federal, state and tribal decision-makers to effective ocean and coastal management. Moreover, we helped maintain previous levels of federal funding for the issue—a significant achievement amid political pressure to reduce overall federal spending.

Worked with partners to promote state action on ocean acidification Our efforts to bring attention to the impacts ocean acidification has on people, places and livelihoods achieved an important milestone as Washington became the first state to adopt an executive order mandating action. California followed by creating a science panel to study ocean acidification, and scientists from Oregon and Washington have agreed to join. Maine also passed a resolution identifying acidification as a threat. Ocean Conservancy produced videos about people impacted by ocean acidification on the East and West coasts which we used to engage decision-makers. We are building on this momentum by mobilizing stakeholders and working with state leaders to demand further action.

Successfully advocated for a halt to drilling operations in U.S. Arctic watersBy highlighting Shell’s error- and problem-riddled drilling efforts in 2012 and advocating significant reforms to improve safety, Ocean Conservancy helped ensure that Shell abandoned its plans to drill in U.S. Arctic waters in 2013. Two other oil companies announced a suspension of their offshore activities in the region until at least 2015. These developments underscore our belief that the oil industry is not ready to drill in the Arctic Ocean, and give us momentum as we seek protections for the most ecologically vulnerable areas amid growing threats, not only from industrial activity but also from climate change.

Produced a comprehensive atlas that provides a big-picture view of the Gulf of Mexico in support of restoration effortsAs restoration efforts continue in earnest following the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, Ocean Conservancy released The Gulf of Mexico Ecosystem: A Coastal and Marine Atlas, which maps key habitats and geographic features of the Gulf and highlights marine wildlife critical to the ecoregion. The unique atlas, lauded by decision-makers, helps guide our efforts as we advocate for use of RESTORE Act funds toward comprehensive, science-based restoration projects with emphasis on the marine environment on which many local economies in the Gulf depend.

“ To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of years, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be.”

– Rachel Carson
