Our public affairs experience includes fisheries and seafood management policies, and processes that shape them. From the Magnuson-Stevens Act and the Farm Bill to aquaculture policy, local fishery issues and seafood sustainability, we track and tackle regulatory challenges so you can focus on the job.

A decade of organization and coalition leadership, plus first-hand industry experience, have made up competitive strategic planners. Whether you’re just getting started or innovating core programs, we can help you develop program designs, business plans, organizational missions, fundraising goals and communications strategies.

We stay in touch with a diversified and dynamic seafood industry community, supporting the seafood supply chain in connecting to each others and their common ground issues. We are bridge-builders and communicators, helping to ensure good ideas and important issues get to the people they impact.

Strategic communications are key to any successful public affairs project. We can strategize your short- and long-term needs around earned media, educational materials, organizational publications, industry networking, letter writing and other messaging tools that advance your core mission.

Whether you’re spearheading a community project or seeking national policy change, we specialize in bringing diverse individuals, businesses and organizations together around a common mission. This includes community outreach, events, fundraisers, meeting facilitation, industry roundtables, multi-media campaigns and more. We help you connect the public to critical information and support you the entire way — from idea to plan to implementation.

From communications to grant development, Ocean Strategies supports those navigating the world of government grants, foundation funding, and the other resources that help organizations succeed. Whether growing skills, funding, or strategic relationships, we support fishing-focused groups in developing the capacity you need to reach your goals.
