Blue Frontier, the nationally recognized nonprofit organization founded in 2003 and known as “The Voice for Ocean Action,” is proud to announce the launch of its newly updated, revised and geo-map-based Blue Movement Directory.

“With our new online Blue Movement Directory we’re offering a powerful tool for scientists, activists, journalists and others to connect with those working to turn the tide for our ocean planet,” says David Helvarg, Blue Frontier’s Founder and Executive Director. 

The Blue Movement Directory, with links to more than 1,000 U.S. ocean and coastal organizations, is designed to unite and mobilize the environmental community. With its user-friendly interface and powerful features, the directory simplifies the process of finding like-minded individuals, organizations, and their activities, to amplify the collective impact of the blue movement. Groups may be easily added or suggested.

“This great directory is the first comprehensive guide to the organizations and agencies that are on the front line of the effort to protect this great resource,” says Leon Panetta, former U.S. Secretary of Defense and Pew Oceans Commission Director and co-founder of the Panetta Institute for Public Policy

Margo Pellegrino, a renowned environmental activist and long-distance paddler, also expresses her excitement about the Blue Movement Directory. “Without the Blue Movement Directory, I could not have done my Miami to Maine paddle. It connected me with seaweed (marine grassroots) groups all up and down the coast.”

Key features of Blue Frontier’s Blue Movement Directory include a network of ocean groups and an ability to learn about research, communities, fieldwork, and advocacy opportunities. These features empower users to find each other, share resources, and collaborate on impactful initiatives, driving positive change within their communities.
