The CU Chapter of the Inland Ocean Coalition enables CU students to participate in an inland ocean movement that empowers, educates, leads, and connects them with projects that promote community action toward a healthier ocean.

The CU Chapter worked closely with the Colorado Ocean Coalition in 2017 to amplify land-to-sea stewardship programs and outreach. The two chapters co-hosted events, including creek clean- ups, documentary screenings, and fundraisers.

The CU Chapter hosted several on-campus documentary film screenings, including Smog of the Sea and Chasing Coral, recruited new members, and brought in guest speakers from the community to discuss important ocean and water issues. The chapter worked closely with the musician and songwriter Jack Johnson to be highlighted at his Fiddlers Green Concert in Denver and published an online book called “Women of the Ocean.”
