Hello Ocean Friends,

Hello from the Jersey Shore! I’m down enjoying the last week of summer vacation with family at the beach. Spending time down here, sitting on the beach, is a powerful reminder of why this work is so important.

Have a good week friends. I’ll see you at NYC Climate Week.

Best,
Will
