Latinos Marinos is an effort that Azul started in 2015 to involve more Latinxs in marine advocacy. For years, Marce Gutiérrez-Graudiņš was often the only Latina involved in discussions around coastal advocacy in Sacramento and working coalitions. In just two years, #LatinosMarinos has grown from a few to over 25 advocates who visit the California state capitol to speak with legislators and staff about issues related to ocean conservation and coastal communities.
