Membership
You are cordially invited to become a member of the North American Environmental Protection Association (NAMEPA).
NAMEPA follows the tradition of the Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association which, since 1982, has unified the Greek Shipping Community around efforts to protect the seas. We want to do the same for the oceans off North America and for the continent's maritime waterways.
By joining NAMEPA, you or your organization would join the ranks of our industry’s strongest supporters, listed below. By joining, you will demonstrate your individual committment to responsible practices and to the preservation of the marine environment. You will help in our efforts “To Save the Seas.”

Why Now?
There is an increasing focus on the environmental policies and practices of the marine industry in North America and internationally. Establishing a MEPA in North America helps reinforce the commercial maritime industry’s commitment to practicing sound marine environment protection, and facilitate carrying the message about protecting the marine environment throughout the industry and the general public.
Our goal is the success of maritime interests. This takes on many forms, from developing marketing and communications platforms for shipowners and service providers resulting in revenue generation, to the promotion of services benefiting seafarers. Our passion is to enhance the maritime industry and its image.
