RE: Support the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act (H.R. 3764)

Dear [Your Representative],

My name is [Your Name] and I am a constituent in your district. I am writing to ask you to support the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act (OBCSA) - H.R.3764, which is a critical step toward leveraging the ocean’s potential in the fight against climate change. In the last month alone we’ve witnessed catastrophic flooding and wildfires -- the impacts of climate change are already here, and we cannot wait another year to pass this important legislation. 

We must include the ocean when developing climate solutions. The OBCSA includes several climate solutions such as: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing carbon storage in blue carbon ecosystems, promoting coastal resiliency, supporting climate-ready fisheries, and restoring U.S. leadership in international ocean governance. 

In addition to the above reasons to support H.R. 3764, I personally support the OBCSA for the following reasons:

Sincerely, 

[Your Name]
