WELCOME.

From March 7 to March 10 of 2009, the second Blue Vision Summit gathered some four hundred people from over two hundred ocean organizations in Washington DC. With two days of speakers and panels on Federal ocean action, evening ‘Celebrations of the Sea’ and a Capitol Hill Day on which participants met with their representatives, the first ripples were made in a tidal shift of US ocean policy.
