Not Clean Ocean Action! (COA)
COA does not go door-to-door. We do not solicit funds or signatures, or distribute information through canvassing. If you have questions or concerns, COA suggests contacting your town administrator. Please further note that Clean Ocean Action has no financial affiliation with the organization called Clean Water Action (formerly known as NJ Environmental Federation) or any other canvassing organization.

Action Alert: LAST CHANCE TO STOP NESE! 

The DEP has confirmed the scheduled April 1st Tidelands Resource Council meeting is canceled. 

The proposed massive, dirty Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) fossil fuel pipeline and project requires one last permit from New Jersey to move forward to construction. The permit approval is up to NJ Governor Sherrill and the Tidelands Resource Council. Will they give away NJ’s underwater land for a NY energy project?  

The environment and public health were sacrificed by NY Governor Hochul and former NJ Governor Murphy when they approved nearly all major permits for NESE, which will rip through communities, shorelines, Raritan Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. But the Tidelands Resource Council and Governor Sherrill still have the power to stop it.

Say “NO” to NESE! Click HERE to learn more and take action now!
