THE SOLUTION
The good news is, it’s not too late to save our oceans. Rather than waiting for worldwide resolutions, we can bring about change on national levels, thanks to the Law of the Sea. And, because we know which practices are hurting our oceans, we can change the way we fish. We know we need to stop:
  • Overfishing our oceans. We need to set quotas grounded in science.
  • Destroying vital habitats. We need to ban destructive bottom trawling.
  • Wasting non-targeted marine life. We need to reduce the needless, accidental catch of marine wildlife.
Oceana is the largest international group focused solely on ocean conservation. We’re campaigning to make these things happen.
 
TESTIMONIALS »

"Since its founding in 2001, Oceana has won over fifteen major victories for the oceans. These include: the protection of one million square miles of ocean habitat; the establishment of penalties to stop half of the world's shipping fleet from dumping 20 million gallons of oily water into our oceans every year; the installation of advanced wastewater treatment systems by the world's second largest cruise line and the decision by five of the largest mercury polluters in the United States to switch to mercury-free technology or shut down. Because of Oceana's effectiveness, rating agency Charity Navigator has awarded the group four stars (the highest possible rating in its category)." -- Market Wire, Jan. 24, 2008
