In October, Democrats in the U.S. House introduced a sweeping and comprehensive bill to address aspects of the climate crisis by focusing on the ocean. The Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act (H.R. 8632) seeks to harness the ocean in the fight against climate change through seven related initiatives. Contact Rep. Jared Golden to support this bill, and to ask Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King to consider sponsoring similar legislation in the Senate. Rep. Chellie Pingree is already a co-sponsor. Thoughtful solutions to our climate emergency are imperative. ~ Bernie Baker, Belfast
