Moving Forward for America the Beautiful!

Let's turn opportunity into action for people and nature!

The Biden Administration launched the nation's first-ever 10-year conservation strategy to equitably and collaboratively conserve nature. The Conserving and Restoring America the Beautiful Initiative is a new opportunity for the federal government to reinvest and rectify centuries of inequitable conservation practices. This effort must center this work and rectify the years of neglect to ocean conservation. 

To assist in jump-starting this effort, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration should prioritize three steps:

1. Develop a time-based road map for steps to engage communities and people over the next 12 months. 

2. Ensure that along with voluntary and working conservation opportunities, the initiative is inclusive of the need for highly protected places.

3. Incorporate the Hispanic Access Foundation's Equity and Justice in 30x30 White Paper recommendations to ensure this effort is centered in equity and justice.

Now we need YOUR help.  It is time to turn this opportunity into action. We need you to help us raise our voice on behalf of the ocean by asking NOAA to take concrete steps to implement the America the Beautiful Initiative.
