OCO is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of California’s waterways, including oceans, rivers, and streams impaired by pollutants from industrial and other sources. At OCO, we believe true change starts with individuals who choose to step forward — people willing to protect what we all depend on: clean water. Ambassadors are WaveMakers —students, professionals, and community leaders who turn care into action and inspire others to follow.
