CHOW Hill Day 2026

Come set sail with us on Thursday, June 4th, 2026, for CHOW Hill Day!  

CHOW attendees are given the opportunity to elevate ocean and Great Lakes policy issues with their members of Congress through the events of CHOW Hill Day. 

Constituent Meetings – Participants will be given the tools to arrange their own meetings with their members of Congress to discuss critical policy issues affecting conservation, heritage, science, and technology. Participants will have the opportunity to meet with their elected officials and staff to discuss critical policy issues affecting our ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes and the communities that depend on them. Please RSVP to let us know you’ll be meeting with your members of Congress and access all the resources you’ll need to get started.  

Congressional Briefing – CHOW Hill Day 2026 will feature a congressional briefing on Thursday afternoon for congressional staff and CHOW attendees (as space allows). Please RSVP for the briefing to Diane Dotson at ddotson@marinesanctuary.org. Details to come. 

The Foundation will not be scheduling any Hill meetings. CHOW attendees must arrange their own meetings with their elected officials to discuss critical policy issues. The CHOW Hill Day toolkit will walk you through every step of the process.   

Join us in support of a healthy ocean and Great Lakes as we bring CHOW 2026 to Capitol Hill!
