Founded in 2001, Oceana is the largest international advocacy organization focused solely on ocean conservation. Our offices around the world work together to conduct science-based campaigns with measurable outcomes that will protect and restore the abundance of the world's oceans. With the help of supporters like you, we have already protected nearly 4 million square miles of ocean.

The oceans are vast - covering over 71% of the globe - but they are not immune to human influence. Threats like single-use plastic, offshore oil drilling, and destructive commercial fishing practices are polluting our oceans and threatening the marine life that depend on them. Oceana's strategic campaigns stop these issues at the source by winning policy victories in countries that govern much of the world’s marine environments.
