- Protect and restore our fragile wetlands. The mother of all marine species, the wetlands we protect guarantee the future of diverse marine life.
- Prevent polluted run-off from farms, industry and streets. The combined impact of many smaller pollution sources is substantial.
- Make polluters accountable for clean-up and restoration. Environmental criminals should not profit at the expense of jobs, health and recreation of the public.
- Protect fish and fishing. Fish are essential to our recreation, food supply, and quality of life
- Protect the right to sue polluters. “Watering down” the Clean Water Act and other laws will undermine your effort to protect the environment.

- Promote Sound-friendly products — fertilizers, detergents, and beyond. By cultivating new product habits, we can all make a difference in protecting what we love.
- Fix broken down storm sewers and waste systems to reduce risks of beach and shellfish bed closings after heavy rains.
