What does Oceana do?

The sea provides food for nearly half the world's population, creates jobs for hundreds of millions of people, and plays a fundamental role in regulating climate. But our oceans are in trouble. Scientists agree that the greatest threats are overfishing, excessive bycatch, destruction of marine habitat, and pollution. The good news is that ocean abundance can be restored. Fish stocks and ocean ecosystems can recover, and critical marine habitats can be protected with science-based policies and responsible, sustainable management of fisheries.

 

Founded in 2001, Oceana leads campaigns in the United States, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Belize, and the Philippines to revitalize and restore ocean abundance. Just 29 countries and the European Union control 90 percent of the world's wild seafood catch. Our campaigns are addressing more than 25% of this catch, by advocating for sustainable management of fisheries, efficient fishing gear that does not harm non-targeted species, and transparent data regarding fishing vessels and catches. Oceana's campaigns also focus on preventing ocean pollution from offshore oil drilling and discarded plastic. And we support policies that protect endangered marine animals, including sharks, whales, and sea turtles.

 

A restored, healthy, and abundant ocean can help fight climate change, sustain livelihoods, and feed more than 1 billion people a healthy seafood meal every day, forever. Together, we can save the oceans and help feed the world.
