    Partnerships for Tribal Carbon Solutions is unique among collaborations that we have as tribal leaders ... at its heart, this initiative supports us in defining our own path that braids together our goals for economic sovereignty, for legal recognition, for regaining some of our lost lands, and for our indelible commitment to stewardship and restoration.

  • GOH has played a critical role in raising awareness of ocean acidification and initiating action here on the East Coast. They've been a consistent presence, providing support in our efforts to raise a broader awareness of the issue, and getting people to begin planning and thinking about what needs to be done.

  • We all share a common planet with many common problems to overcome. Working together, perhaps we can solve them and make this a better place for everyone.

  • Working with GOH has enriched my research and provided a better understanding of what is important to the industry, what their concerns are, and how they can contribute to solutions.

  • We need the "aha" oyster photo, and GOH secured funding to get us time on Oregon State University's scanning electron microscope. We got our photo; it was a tremendous eye opener and has provided huge insight for us.

Carbon emissions are eroding the ocean’s ability to produce food, half our oxygen, and millions of livelihoods.

It’s time to clean up the mess. 

People who depend on a healthy ocean are its most committed champions. We connect fishing communities, coastal Tribes and First Nations, seafood producers and resource managers with the tools and expertise they need:

  • Science to know what we are up against

  • Policy and technical skills to protect livelihoods, communities and ecosystems

  • Networks and allies to drive solutions

  • Technologies for change

Solutions that work for the ocean and for people who depend on it.

  • Clean energy

  • Cleanup

  • Efficiency

  • Reuse

  • Sound policy

  • Science

  • Conservation

  • Restoration

  • Resource management

The ocean doesn’t care where we solve the problem.
It cares that we do.
