At the beginning of May, the Oceana Ranger inaugurated its 2007 Expedition, which took place in the Mediterranean Sea. The Oceana Ranger pursued several different campaigns with the aim of protecting the Oceans.
Besides identifying and documenting illegal fishing activities, the Oceana Ranger researched vulnerable marine habitats and protected marine areas and recorded damage made to some seabeds as a consequence of destructive fishing.
"When I read what Oceana did, how they tried to pursue their goal, what they do and what they achieve, I was so impressed. I thought, well, maybe there is something I can do to support these guys. Most of the free divers, because the experience of free diving is so much more intimate, than the scuba diving, so they're all kind of conservation mindset people. I see that I could deliver the Oceana message to them." -- Martin Stepanek, champion freediver
