Member Governments

 A forum for decision-makers to support regional ocean planning and policies related to the U.S. West Coast

The West Coast Ocean Alliance serves as a unifying force, aiming to harmonizing the efforts of state, tribal, and federal government partners within an inclusive, non-regulatory framework.

We foster connection among our members through a combination of regular remote gatherings and annual in-person convenings. In addition, we actively nurture sub-regional working groups, each with a sharp focus on addressing the unique challenges and opportunities present in specific coastal areas along the West Coast.

    We convene member governments on bi-monthly remote calls, providing an invaluable platform for all our partners to engage. These calls serve as a pivotal forum where members convene to deliberate on our latest regional initiatives and share updates on their individual activities.

    Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we're set to receive approximately $3.9 million over the next two years, courtesy of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This funding will support a range of projects to foster collaboration between states, tribes, and federal entities to responsibly manage our oceans and coastal regions.
