Ocean Conservancy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the world's oceans and marine life. Founded in 1972, it focuses on promoting sustainable practices, reducing ocean pollution, and advocating for policies that support healthy marine ecosystems. Through various initiatives, the organization engages communities, scientists, and policymakers to create lasting change for our oceans. One of its key programs is the annual International Coastal Cleanup, where volunteers gather to remove trash from beaches and waterways. This event not only helps clean the environment but also raises awareness about the impact of pollution on marine species like sea turtles and dolphins.
