On June 4th, Capitol Hill Ocean Week (CHOW) 2026 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, heritage, 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 will give attendees the opportunity to meet with their elected officials and staff to discuss critical policy issues affecting national marine sanctuaries and the communities that depend on them. Join us in support of a healthy ocean commnities and economies as we bring CHOW to Capitol Hill!
