“Don Young Veterans Advancing Conservation Act” Introduced in Congress
The bill would provide federal grant funding to organizations who retrain and redeploy military Veterans to engage in marine conservation work.
By uniting the community of Special Operations veterans with the world of marine science and conservation, FORCE BLUE has created a transpartisan model of caring, cooperation and positive change with the power to restore lives and restore the planet.
FORCE BLUE announced its newest partnership — this time with global video game company Wargaming Group Limited and their World of Warships brand. Wargaming will be donating $50K in support of FORCE BLUE’s marine conservation efforts, as well as 10% of the net revenue generated from sales of World of Warships’ popular Popeye™ items during the month of June (World Ocean Month)!
Earlier this month FORCE BLUE received word that our documentary short film “Swim Through”, which chronicles the experiences of the Gold Star children who took part in our inaugural FORCE BLUE OCS and the veterans who instructed them, was named a winner in TWO (2) categories at the 44th Annual Telly Awards!
In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of NOAA’s National Marine Sanctuary System, the Special Operations veterans of FORCE BLUE — working with our nation’s top scientists and environmentalists — will be launching a 5-year effort to conduct community conservation missions in and around each of the country’s 15 National Marine Sanctuaries.
Partners
FORCE BLUE is proud to partner with some of the biggest names in marine science and marine resource preservation, both for its training and its mission deployments.
