Overview
Oceana’s mission is to protect and restore the world’s oceans. Oceans are an important part of the earth’s ecosystems and they play a vital role in absorbing carbon dioxide and regulating climate. With this support, Oceana will advance strategies to protect oceans, in particular curbing pollution and reducing offshore oil drilling, setting reasonable fishing quotas and reducing industrial overfishing, and protecting marine habitat. Oceana works in the United States, Europe, Chile, Brazil, the Philippines, Canada, and Peru, which together control approximately 40 percent of the wild fish catch.
