Oceana is the largest international advocacy organization solely focused on ocean conservation. Established in 2001, its mission is to make the oceans more biodiverse and abundant by winning policy victories in the countries that govern much of the world's marine life. Their global teams combine policy, legal, science, and grassroots efforts to promote tangible and significant policy change.
Oceana operates in various countries across the globe, working on diverse projects to restore and preserve ocean ecosystems. They advocate for responsible fishing practices, reducing pollution, and protecting marine habitats. Campaigns against illegal fishing and efforts to mitigate climate change's impact on the oceans are also at the forefront of Oceana's work.
Some key initiatives include:
Save the Oceans, Feed the World: Aiming to restore and increase ocean abundance to support a growing global population.
Plastic Pollution Campaign: Working to reduce single-use plastics that end up harming marine life.
Climate and Energy Campaign: Tackling climate change through policies that transition towards renewable energy sources and protect oceans from the harmful effects of fossil fuels.
Responsible Fishing: Advocating for policies to end overfishing, minimize bycatch, and create transparency in fisheries to protect fish populations and ocean ecosystems.
Together, these activities and programs demonstrate Oceana's dedication and diverse approach to safeguarding the oceans for present and future generations.
