North American Marine Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA)

NAMEPA is already recognized as a force for good and effective in meeting its mission. At a relatively young age, the organization has had significant outreach and impact across North America and globally. The ultimate objective for NAMEPA is to move the organization forward to a next level of impact. NAMEPA is an independent, non-profit organization committed to preserving the marine environment by actively engaging and educating seafarers, industry, students, regulators and the public on the need for best management practices to protect the global ocean resource. We believe education is the first step to Save Our Seas. NAMEPA’s array of educational materials are utilized by students, educators, parents, seafarers, and industry professionals. Our NGSS-aligned curriculum guides provide interactive lessons for educators to adapt to their own classroom. NAMEPA’s activity book, flyers, and handouts are available to educate all ages on the marine environment, marine pollution and how to prevent it, and the maritime industry. Through programs, conferences, events, partnerships, collaborations and more, NAMEPA encourages a balance between commerce and conservation and inspiring all to use this knowledge to become better ocean stewards.
