Give Back to the Oceans: Protecting Vulnerable Species This GivingTuesday
BY: Jessica McLean
Vast and teeming with life, our oceans are a place of wonder, mystery, and unique wildlife. From playful sea otters to the melodic songs of whales, ocean species captivate us at every turn.
But there’s so much more than meets the eye beneath the waves with each species playing a role in balancing delicate ecosystems. Sadly, amidst the beauty of oceans, there are risks, most of which are human-made.
Critically endangered North Atlantic right whales fight for survival from speeding ships, sharks unintentionally get caught and killed in fishing gear, climate change threatens coral reefs and biodiversity, and more.
THIS #GIVINGTUESDAY, JOIN THE FIGHT TO PROTECT VULNERABLE SPECIES
GivingTuesday is a global movement that unleashes the power of generosity, uniting people around the world to create a better future. For our oceans and the incredible wildlife that call the oceans home, the future is uncertain. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Thanks to the passion and dedication of people like you, Oceana and its allies have achieved over 70 policy victories to protect threatened species. Yet our work is far from done, and we’re only as strong as our supporters. This #GivingTuesday, you can make a difference – join us in the fight to protect our oceans and the species that depend on them.
