Save the Merpeople!

The Merbachelorette (and Jeff)

It's really hard being a Merperson in today's underwater ocean world. Destructive trawling destroys merpeople's homes, overfishing steals merpeople's friends, and mercury contamination, well, let's just say it makes it hard to think clearly about all the other problems.

Right now, one of the biggest problems is dating. Mermen and Merwomen are finding there's just no fish left in the sea. With that, Oceana and Save the Merpeople bring you The Merbachelorette. She swam ashore in New York to tell our crew about her experiences in underwater dating. Help us, help her. Save the merpeople.

Destructive Trawling: Reefs to Rubble

Hello Everyone!

I have just uploaded a brand new video aimed at briefly showing people the complete and unbelievable destruction that bottom trawling has caused. It is amazing how horrific this practice is to the habitats that sustain life on the ocean floor. Enjoy!





Hello, Ocean Friends

Hello everyone.  My name is Cory Wilson, and I am Oceana's Video Specialist.  I moved to Washington, DC from New York about six months ago and have since been added to the Oceana team to document Oceana's hard work around the globe.
