Contact Information

Thousands of agencies and organizations are involved with coastal, ocean, and marine management and conservation. The sheer number makes it difficult to obtain consistent contact information for relevant entities in any specific geography or field of expertise. While it is not possible or desirable to develop a globally comprehensive contact database for this toolkit, some information is available. Please contact us if you have new information or corrections.

Tables that list the contact information of all agencies and organizations identified in this toolkit are available by topic or by state using the menus below. When you select a table of contacts, it will download in a new window (.pdf file). Contact information for specific U.S. state and country management agencies can also be accessed on the U.S. State Summaries and Country Summaries pages.
