Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO) is a partnership of six states—New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Established to promote the sustainable use of ocean and coastal resources, MARCO focuses on protecting marine ecosystems while balancing economic growth. The council coordinates efforts among states in areas like fisheries, wind energy, and coastal resilience. By sharing information and best practices, MARCO aims to enhance coastal management and address challenges such as climate change and pollution, ensuring a healthy marine environment for future generations.
