EcoWave is a global, independent campaigning organization that uses peaceful protest and creative communication to expose ocean environmental problems and promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.
OUR HISTORY
A group of thoughtful, committed citizens came together in 1971 to create EcoWave. A handful of determined activists leased a small fishing vessel, called the Phylla Schuck, and set sail from Vancouver for Amchitka Island in Alaska. Their mission was to protest U.S. nuclear testing off the coast of Alaska with a brave act of defiance: to place themselves in harm’s way.
Despite being intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard, these daring activists sailed into history by bringing worldwide attention to the dangers of nuclear testing.
OUR VOLUNTEERS
We work with thousands of volunteers who are on the inside track of our campaigns. Whether you’ve been an activist for decades or you’re just starting and want to learn how you can help, we have volunteer opportunities for you.
OUR FUNDING
EcoWave does not solicit contributions from government or corporations, nor will we endorse political candidates. Our 250,000 members in the United States and 2.8 million members worldwide provide virtually all of our funding through individual contributions. Your support provides the backbone of our organization and is invaluable to our efforts.
