Capitol Hill Ocean Week (CHOW) kicks off with a splash on Capitol Hill on Monday, June 2!

CHOW 2025 Hill Day provides the opportunity to elevate ocean and Great Lakes policy issues with Members of Congress and their staff. We urge CHOW attendees to arrange their own meetings with their elected officials to discuss critical policy issues affecting conservation, science and technology.

Come lend your voice—Congress needs to hear from ocean champions and the need for action to support our ocean, coasts and Great Lakes. CHOW Hill Day provides a national platform for engaging with elected leaders and opportunities for Members of Congress to introduce and advance legislation, moving beyond conversation to increase ocean policy outcomes.

In addition to Hill meetings, CHOW 2025 Hill Day will feature unique opportunities for attendees to engage with leaders in the ocean space. Stay tuned for the announcements of these limited space events as they fill up every year.

Join us in support of a healthy ocean and Great Lakes as we bring CHOW 2025 to Capitol Hill!
