Our Story
Our History
Green Oceans was founded in January 2023 by a non-partisan group of community members dedicated to combating climate change without sacrificing biodiversity or the health of the ocean.
Our Mission
We strive to protect the ocean and all the life it sustains. A healthy ocean is one of our best defenses against climate change. Protecting the ocean and biodiversity ensures our own survival.
Our Values
We recognized the urgent need to advocate for the ocean when we discovered the harm that industrializing 1400 square miles of ocean waters with 1000 plus turbines off the coast of RI and MA will impose on this fertile yet fragile ecosystem.
Our Concerns
Will industrializing 1400 square miles of pristine ocean with over 1000 wind turbines, all taller than any building in Boston, preserve the health of our ocean? Will these developments achieve the desired impact on climate change when the US government, in its own document, admits that they will have “no collective impact?” (U.S. Dept of Interior, BOEM, Vineyard Wind FEIS, Vol 2, page A-66)
Our Commitment
As citizens dedicated to combating climate change with real solutions, we aim to protect the ocean and all of the life it sustains, from the largest whale to the smallest plankton.
Our Impact
Over the past year, we have educated the public about threats to the ocean by presenting the information from the government's own Environmental Impact Assessments.
