A poll conducted by Morning Consult on behalf of the Walton Family Foundation shows almost 9 in 10 Arizona voters (88%) are concerned about groundwater supplies in the state and believe that limiting unregulated groundwater pumping should be a priority for the state.

Sixty percent of Americans say that the impacts of climate change are being experienced now, and 16% say the impacts will be felt in the future, according to a new Morning Consult poll.

A Morning Consult poll for the Walton Family Foundation found nearly universal support for protecting the health and safety of drinking water and the water in our nation’s lakes, streams, and rivers.

Maintaining a healthy Colorado River is essential to ensuring clean and reliable water supplies in the West and protecting critical ecosystems. But for decades, we have taken more water from the river than it can afford to give. This report outlines examples of nature-based solutions and conservation projects that can help us better anticipate, prepare for, and respond to climate change impacts.

Restore the Mississippi River Delta (MRD) has been conducting public opinion research among Louisiana voters since 2013 and media research about coastal issues since 2016.

Climate Advisers sought to understand the extent to which key coastal countries appreciate the importance of fisheries for adaptation and mitigation. This report presents the results of that analysis.

Morning Consult ran a survey, on behalf of the Walton Family Foundation, focusing on the importance of safeguarding groundwater supplies and support for investments in conservation and restoration projects to protect water sources for Arizona.

Morning Consult ran a survey, on behalf of the Walton Family Foundation, focusing on how voters are consuming news on climate change, how the news on climate change is making them feel, and what their preferences are for stories around climate change. The survey finds that voters agree journalists have a duty to increase global understanding of climate change and that nearly all voters want more coverage on protecting water sources, extreme weather, and climate change’s impact on food supplies.

The Walton Family Foundation collaborated with Impact Institute to gain actionable information for decision-making and strategy development required to support and preserve fishery communities. The project has consisted of performing two value chain assessments on selected fish supply chains. This report focuses on the blue swimming crab from Indonesia.

The Walton Family Foundation collaborated with Impact Institute to gain actionable information for decision-making and strategy development required to support and preserve fishery communities. The project consisted of performing two value chain assessments on selected fish supply chains within the operational work of WFF. This report focuses on Peru's mahi-mahi fishery.

The United States government has committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2030 and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Meeting these targets will require transformation in all sectors of society,

For over a century, American policymakers have worked to implement policies that conserve natural resources and protect the environment, from Theodore Roosevelt’s efforts to establish national parks and the measures enacted in the wake of the Dust Bowl all the way to the efforts of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. But simply passing an environmental policy is not the end goal of these efforts—the end goal is protecting natural resources and the planet in the long run. In order to do that, multiple conditions need to be satisfied. A policy must pass, it must be signed, it must be enacted, and it must last.

More than 62 million people living in the U.S. are Latino or about one in every five. Latinos make up the second largest demographic, yet Latinos are not a monolithic voting bloc. While the Latino community varies in political party affiliation, a new poll has found that the overwhelmingly majority support strong policies to protect the ocean and prevent plastic pollution. According to the U.S. Latinos and the Ocean Poll, conducted for Azul, Latino voters want the nation to invest more, and are willing to pay more themselves, to advance ocean justice.

The Peruvian artisanal squid fleet accounts for more than 45% of the worldwide landings of the jumbo flying squid (JFS) fishery, the largest invertebrate fishery worldwide. Nevertheless, most vessels involved in the fishery lack secure tenure rights and operate within the informal economy. Interviews and a survey directed to ship-owners allowed identification of three economic regimes under which the fleet operates and estimation of annual operating costs, revenues, and added value. Our results show that the fishery has high economic importance in Peru, accounting annually for 9–15% of the total Peruvian fisheries sector’s GDP.

The Walton Family Foundation has provided over 10 years of support for the Birds Head Seascape. Long term monitoring of the area has allowed researchers to look at the link between protected area management and social and ecological outcomes.

This article compiles estimates of the status of fish stocks from all available scientific assessments, comprising roughly half of the world’s fish catch, and shows that, on average, fish stocks are increasing where they are assessed. We pair this with surveys of the nature and extent of fisheries management systems, and demonstrate that where fisheries are intensively managed, the stocks are above target levels or rebuilding. Where fisheries management is less intense, stock status and trends are worse.

Collaborative conservation brings diverse stakeholders together to sustain healthy landscapes and strengthen communities. Organizations fostering collaborative conservation depend on philanthropy to advance collaborative conservation, while philanthropic organizations depend on these organizations to advance their missions. Both face challenges engaging with each other as they work toward shared goals, yet open dialogue about how funders and practitioners work together is rare.

Morning Consult ran a survey, on behalf of the Walton Family Foundation, focusing on favorability and support for the protections in the Clean Water Act, as well as general views of water issues and who should set standards for water quality in the United States
