The Nature Conservancy
Email: media@tnc.org
We carefully review the implications of the multiple executive orders and instructions from the new administration to ensure we can continue to make progress for people and nature.
The Nature Conservancy has been working in the Gulf for more than 40 years, through hurricanes and oil spills, in close partnership with private, state and federal partners.
To ensure our programs continue, in accordance with clear directives from federal agencies under recent executive orders, TNC is required to refer to its programs in the Gulf of Mexico in U.S. territorial waters as “Gulf of America.” We continue to refer to our programs occurring outside of U.S. territorial waters in the Gulf as “Gulf of Mexico,” in accordance with international practice.
The Nature Conservancy is a global conservation organization dedicated to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided by science, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. We are tackling climate change, conserving lands, waters and oceans at an unprecedented scale, providing food and water sustainably and helping make cities more sustainable. The Nature Conservancy is working to make a lasting difference around the world in 81 countries and territories (40 by direct conservation impact and 41 through partners) through a collaborative approach that engages local communities, governments, the private sector, and other partners.
