Our Mission

Oceana is the world's largest international advocacy organization focused solely on marine conservation. Our science-based, targeted campaigns win policies that protect marine wildlife, safeguard ocean habitats, curb pollution and restore the fisheries on which so many depend. Oceana has won over 300 victories and protected more than 4 million square miles of ocean.

We have teams in North, South and Central America, Asia, and Europe, in countries that control close to 25 percent of the world's wild fish catch. A restored, healthy, and abundant ocean can help fight climate change, support coastal communities, and feed more than 1 billion people a healthy seafood meal every day, forever. Together, we can save the oceans and help feed the world.
