Our Mission

Oceana is the largest international organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation. Our mission is to rebuild abundant and biodiverse oceans by winning science-based policies that stop overfishing, protect habitats and threatened species, curb oil and plastic pollution, and increase transparency at sea. With more than 350 victories, Oceana's campaigns are delivering results - for the oceans, for coastal communities, and for the planet.

We have teams in North, South and Central America, Asia, Europe, and Africa 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.
