"Our goal is to improve the degraded water quality of the marine waters off the New Jersey/New York coast." Clean Ocean Action (COA) will identify the sources of pollution and mount an attack on each source by using research, public education, and citizen action to convince our public officials to enact and enforce measures which will clean up and protect our ocean. Clean Ocean Action is a leading national and regional voice working to protect waterways using science, law, research, education and citizen action. Clean Ocean Action (COA) is a broad-based coalition of 125 active boating, business, community, conservation, diving, environmental, fishing, religious, service, student, surfing and women's groups. These "Ocean Wave-makers" work to clean up and protect the waters of the New York Bight. The groups came together in 1984 to investigate sources, effects, and solutions of ocean pollution. What follows is a description of the network. Under the guidance of COA's Board of Trustees, COA's staff researches pollution issues affecting the marine environment, then formulates policy and campaigns to eliminate each pollution source. The staff then coordinates and organizes the Ocean Wave-makers (Participating Organizations, Concerned Businesses, Educators for a Clean Ocean and Concerned Citizens) to use their individual experience and expertise to help. Press events, rallies, writing letters, making phone calls, testifying at public hearings and distributing literature are just some of the ways members of the coalition become involved. Clean Ocean Action is a 501(c)3 tax exempt nonprofit organization.
