Vicki Nicols Goldstein founded the Colorado Ocean Coalition in 2011, which she rebranded to the Inland Ocean Coalition in 2017. The coalition's mission is to create an inland movement that fosters land-to-sea stewardship. Vicki brings her experience of ocean protection, networking, and the belief that community-based ocean conservation can occur anywhere in the county. “You don’t have to see the ocean to protect it,” is Vicki’s mantra and she believes that if people are supported in their potential to be leaders, they can make a positive contribution to ocean protection.
