- Ocean Champions, a 501(c)(4) environmental organization in the United States with a connected political action committee (Ocean Champions PAC), is the first national organization of its kind focused solely on oceans and ocean wildlife. Their goal is to create a political environment where protecting and restoring the oceans is a national government priority. They do this by helping to elect pro-ocean Congressional candidates and working to defeat the others. Ocean Champions engages with members of Congress to pass pro-ocean laws and shoot down bills that would harm the ocean.Co-founder David Wilmot defines the organization as a “blue group”, instead of a “green group” to emphasize its focus on the oceans. In 2016, Ocean Champions made history! For the first time in the history of the Peter Benchley Ocean Awards an organization will receive the highly regarded Excellence in Policy Award. Ocean Champions and its Co-Founder, David Wilmot, Ph.D., have been named this year's awardee. (en)
