What America would look like, if our companies cared for us as much as our government does them.
The “Repair Our Oceans” (ROO) Act
Restoring America’s Heritage, Securing Our Food Future
The Mission: To ensure the longevity of American seafood and the health of our coastlines by requiring the largest industrial harvesters to reinvest in the public waters they profit from.
The National Ocean Accountability Levy
For decades, a few massive corporations have treated our oceans as a private piggy bank while leaving the cleanup bill to the American taxpayer. The ROO Act establishes a 90% Resource Reinvestment Contribution from the industry’s highest-grossing violators to fund a permanent, self-sustaining Ocean Repair Bucket.
Impact PartnerAnnual Reinvestment
Trident Seafoods $2.25 Billion
Pacific Seafood $900 Million
American Seafoods $450 Million
TOTAL NATIONAL FUND$3.6 Billion / Year
The “Blue Growth” Investment Plan
This $3.6 billion fund—double the current federal budget for fisheries—is a zero-taxpayer-cost plan to modernize our economy and environment:
-
🇺🇸 Clean Up American Coastlines: We will immediately eliminate the “Goo Zones” and toxic waste piles in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, returning these waters to local small-scale fishermen and tourism.
-
🤖 High-Tech Fleet Modernization: Instead of “accidental” waste, we will fund the “Smart Net” Revolution. By installing AI cameras and precision-release tech on every American trawler, we ensure that only the intended fish are caught, protecting dolphins, turtles, and future fish stocks.
-
🌊 Underwater National Parks: We will replant the “Seafloor Forests”—the corals and sponges that act as nurseries for the fish we eat—ensuring that American seafood remains affordable and abundant for the next century.
-
🛡️ National Climate Resilience: By protecting the seafloor, we allow our oceans to naturally trap carbon, protecting coastal towns from the rising costs of extreme weather and saving billions in disaster relief.
Why It Works for You
Currently, these corporations pay tiny fines that they treat as a “subscription fee” to pollute. The Repair Our Oceans Act ends the era of corporate handouts. It shifts the financial burden from your tax dollars to the billion-dollar entities that caused the damage, ensuring our oceans remain clean, productive, and American.
