Coastal Warriors

This program works to connect National Association of Counties (NACO) members (county/parish commissioners) throughout the United States by sharing information via the “Royalties to Restoration” Buddy System.  This is an exciting opportunity for leaders who are passionate about conservation, restoration, protection and recreation to share facts with other NACO members in a one-on-one manner without leaving the comfort of their home or office.  We respectfully call these folks our “Coastal Warriors.”

Coastal Warriors have been selected to participate in this effort because of their leadership and interest in both coastal restoration and advocating for a robust USA Offshore Energy industry - because they are convinced, it’s good for America! 

These Coastal Warriors are qualified to educate and engage others on the benefits of Offshore USA Energy and its direct connection to conservation, restoration protection, and recreation projects in America.

Now is the time for our Coastal Warriors to be the faces from the places of the Gulf of Mexico that proudly produce the energy to fuel our great country and do it in the most climate-advantaged producing province in America. Now is the time for our Coastal Warriors to remind America of the men and women of the USA Offshore Energy industry who daily put on their hard-hats and steel-toed boots, kiss their families good-bye, and set out to do the hard work to help Balance the 3Es®: environment, energy and economy.
