Comprehensive Downloads: Click on the thumbnail images to the right to download a table that lists the contact information for all U.S. agencies identified in this toolkit in pdf or Excel format. Note: Links in the pdf and Excel documents are even less up to date than those in the interactive table, above. We are working on it.
Global Contact Directories
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, the existing directories below may be helpful.
- Conservation Directory — A searchable global database of over four thousand environmental non-profit, education, commercial, and government entities.
- Environmental Directory — A searchable database of more than 13,000 organizations in the United States concerned with environmental issues and environmental education.
- Find a Land Trust Alliance Member Land Trust — An interactive map that provides free access to contact information for approximately 1,600 land trusts in the United States.
- OceanExpert — A global searchable database containing information on individuals and institutions involved in all aspects of marine or freshwater research and management.
- World Ocean Directory — A searchable global database.
