The threat to the world's ocean is an international concern, and the U.S. Department of State is bringing people together from across the globe on September 15th and 16th to find a solution. Secretary of State John Kerry will host the 2016 Our Ocean Conference in Washington, D.C. to spur actions to protect our ocean from these threats and to empower a new generation to lead the way toward a healthy and sustainable ocean.
