CSIN is proud to sponsor the National @marinesanctuary Foundation and Capitol Hill Ocean Week! This year's theme, “Leadership” deeply resonates with our network’s priorities, as strong #leadership is crucial for driving change in our islands and protecting our oceans. #CHOW2024

Inspiring opening to Capital Hill Ocean Week #CHOW2023 by @JaneLubchenco who reminded there is no path to #NetZero without the ocean, therefore we have a US Ocean-Climate plan with wholistic nature-based solutions for action.
