The deadly wildfires in Maui are heartbreaking. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this climate-fueled tragedy.

If you’d like to support the response + recovery, here is a list of local organizations from @StarAdvertiser that are providing aid:

We can’t responsibly transition our nation to clean energy sources, like offshore wind, without @NOAA. The House approps bill would sink funding for NOAA and harm communities, ecosystems and wildlife. #YesNOAA #CleanOceanEnergy @AppropsDems @SenateApprops

[Ocean Conservancy @OurOcean]

We must ensure our ocean is the home of climate solutions, NOT polluting fossil fuel industries. 🌎

But clean ocean energy projects, like offshore wind, can't happen without @NOAA. 🌊

📢 Join us and call on lawmakers to say #YesNOAA!

TODAY: @OurOcean's NDC Tracker is updated just in time for the #OceanClimateDialogue at #SBSTA58 alongside widespread calls for integrating ocean-climate action into National Climate Plans. 93 coastal NDCs with at least one #oceanclimateaction https://t.co/JUmHggEFei

@SethMagaziner who represents Rhode Island in Congress talking responsible #offshorewind at #CHOW2023. Planned OSW projects will power 60-80% of the state’s energy needs with #CleanOceanEnergy. Happy #WorldOceanDay!! 🌊🐠🐋

The @WhiteHouse roundup of statements on the new #OceanClimateAction plan, featuring @healthyOceanCo, @minsd, @UrbanOceanLab, @kim_mbay, @christygoldfuss, @AnnaMarieLaura, yours truly, and so many more! Thank you @WHCEQ and @WHOSTP.

Team @OurOcean past and present was there in full force to celebrate ocean wins at the Conservation In Action Summit! @amyetrice @ReggieParos @addietime @WBOceans

[Anna-Marie Laura @AnnaMarieLaura]

See my STATEMENT on the first of its kind #OceanClimateAction Plan. The Biden Administration is reorganizing often siloed agency efforts into a concrete action plan that puts the ocean at the forefront of climate policy where it needs to be. https://t.co/j82XbhojiZ via @OurOcean

[Anna-Marie Laura @AnnaMarieLaura]

It was an honor to see @POTUS announce whole of government commitments to my two FAVORITE ways to achieve conservation: wildlife conservation corridors & #OceanClimateAction!!

The IPCC Synthesis Report released today has a clear message: to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we need to drastically cut emissions: https://t.co/T1IzCS50qJ

Climate change is the single biggest risk facing our ocean. We need #OceanClimateAction now.

Keep green hydrogen green and don’t let the #fossilfuel lobby convince you we have pollute to advance technologies that can meet our climate goals. Check out my #LTE in @washingtonpost ⁦@OurOcean⁩ https://t.co/mf2Qh0S8y2

Exxon Mobil’s growth plan relies on increasing virgin plastic production. “They are the biggest single-use plastics producer in the world, but it is still quite a small part of their business. I think they are holding this up as the big hope.” https://t.co/16MCcCAFJy

[High Seas Alliance @HighSeasAllianc]

#IGC5 negotiations have concluded with a #HighSeasTreaty ! This historic moment means we now have the legal framework to better manage & protect half our blue planet. #OneOceanOnePlanet Thank you to all our members who worked tirelessly for this https://t.co/8r5ZIEW31c

Join us tomorrow during #OurOcean2023 to discuss the Global Potential for #Offshorewind @IRENA @sim2ben @DanishMFA @Orsted @OurOcean @hlcchampions

[Ocean Conservancy @OurOcean]

We're live from @OurOceanPanama talking with @AnnaMarieLaura about our vision for clean ocean energy. We need to ensure the ocean is home to climate solutions, not polluting fossil fuel operations that put our ocean at risk. #OceanClimateAction

@ClimateEnvoy Reminding delegates #OurOcean2023 that we must accelerate the transition to a clean energy future. The extremes of last year could be the best case compared to years ahead if we don’t reduce GHGs polluting our ocean and driving the #climatecrisis #oceanclimateaction

Congratulations to #Panama for expanding its marine protected areas to cover 54% of its EEZ, an example for the world. #OurOcean2023

[Anna-Marie Laura @AnnaMarieLaura]

Powerful kickoff speaker from @geoversity at #OurOcean2023 calling for an end to fossil fuel subsidies and addressing the climate crisis head on to save the ocean! @OurOcean couldn’t agree more! 100% Clean Ocean Energy by 2050 https://t.co/egwoKTqRiM

[Ocean Conservancy @OurOcean]

Let's finish the job. Let's take #OceanClimateAction and mitigate climate change once and for all.

By delivering on a clean-energy future, we can responsibly develop offshore wind—all while ensuring the communities where power is generated have access to good jobs. 🤝 #SOTU

[Ocean Conservancy @OurOcean]

America is facing climate disasters. With the IRA, we're rebuilding for the future. Climate change is an environmental justice issue through & through. Low-income communities & communities of color on our coasts bear the brunt of this crisis. We need #OceanClimateAction. #SOTU
