Advocacy efforts focus on advancing local and regional policies that prevent pollution at its source, including ordinances addressing single-use plastics and mobilizing public engagement to oppose offshore oil drilling. Education programs provide hands-on, science-based learning experiences that connect K12 students to coastal ecosystems, fostering environmental literacy and stewardship, with a focus on reaching underserved communities. Community action programs engage thousands of volunteers in beach and river cleanups, removing marine debris while collecting data that informs community science and strengthens policy initiatives.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
