Welcome to June National Ocean ACTION Month!
We believe every month is ocean month, but each year the American Shoreline Podcast Network, along with the broader ocean community, spends the month of June amplifying messaging about ocean and coastal issues to raise awareness and ramp up stewardship and action in honor of National Ocean Month. This is why we've decided to call June National Ocean ACTION month. Join Jenna, she'll need company, as she walks the path of this episode solo, making pit stops to share all of the ocean action that's happened this month so far and opportunities for us to get involved

Jenna ValenteA passion for conservation and appreciation for the natural world was engrained in Jenna at a young age. Her father was in the Coast Guard. This meant she always had the fortune of living near the ocean, including Hawaii, Washington State, and Maine. Both of her parents encouraged her to spend the majority of her time outside. As a result, she finds that she is most comfortable barefoot and exploring the coast, countryside, or mountains. Her favorite thing about the ocean is the sheer power of it all. Jenna joined the American Littoral Society as the Healthy Oceans Coalition Coordinator from the Chesapeake Research Consortium where she was a member of the communications staff and focused on building the brand of the program and ensure the health of the Chesapeake Bay. Jenna completed her Executive Master of Natural Resources from Virginia Tech in 2015 and also has her Bachelors in Communication and Journalism from the University of Maine.
