Clean Ocean Action (COA) is a nonprofit organization focused on protecting the ocean and waterways, employing science, law, research, education, and citizen action. It operates as a broad-based coalition of groups across boating, business, community, conservation, diving, environmental, fishing, religious, service, student, surfing, and women's communities, collaborating to clean up and protect waters in New Jersey and New York. Based in Long Branch, New Jersey, COA has 11-50 employees and is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The groups came together in 1984 to investigate sources, effects, and solutions of ocean pollution, and COA launched the Beach Sweeps in 1985, a long-running regional cleanup program. COA presents itself as a national and regional voice for protecting the ocean and waterways and maintains a website at cleanoceanaction.org.
