Ocean Champions, a 501(c)(4) environmental organization in the United States with a connected political action committee (Ocean Champions PAC), is the first national organization of its kind focused solely on oceans and ocean wildlife. Their goal is to create a political environment where protecting and restoring the oceans is a national government priority. They do this by helping to elect pro-ocean Congressional candidates and working to defeat the others.〔〔 Ocean Champions engages with members of Congress to pass pro-ocean laws and shoot down bills that would harm the ocean.〔〔 Co-founder David Wilmot defines the organization as a “blue group”, instead of a “green group” to emphasize its focus on the oceans.〔〔 == Organization == Ocean Champions was founded by marine biologist David Wilmot and environmental attorney Jack Sterne in 2003.〔〔 (Rising Tide Strategies Jack Sterne )〕 Currently (as of 2011), David Wilmot is the group’s President and the Executive Director is Mike Dunmyer. The group is headquartered on the west coast in Capitola, California, and has since added an office on the east coast in Delaware. On Earth Day 2011, Ocean Champions was recognized as a certified Monterey Bay Area Green Business. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ocean Champions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
