About us
Oceana is the largest international advocacy organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation. Oceana is rebuilding abundant and biodiverse oceans by winning science-based policies in countries that control one-quarter of the world’s wild fish catch. With more than 275 victories that stop overfishing, habitat destruction, oil and plastic pollution, and the killing of threatened species like turtles, whales, and sharks, Oceana’s campaigns are delivering results. A restored ocean means that 1 billion people can enjoy a healthy seafood meal every day, forever. Together, we can save the oceans and help feed the world. Visit Oceana.org to learn more.

🚨 BREAKING: Oil pollution in UK seas is being HUGELY underestimated - when Big Oil's permit breaches are added to accidental oil spills, the total oil spilled increases by AT LEAST 43%. 🤯 ⚠️ Our new report shows UK marine protected areas have suffered 248 oil spills from #BigOil’s permit breaches since 2021. Nearly half of these didn’t even bother to report the volume of oil spewing into our seas. 😡 🛢️ Big Oil is polluting our waters, and it's so much worse than you think.

The Common Fisheries Policy legally requires EU countries to allocate fishing opportunities based on transparent and objective criteria, considering the benefits to society, the economy, and the environment. While ensuring access to quotas for small-scale, low-impact vessels supports local jobs and protects the marine environment 🌊, many countries, in practice, grant higher quotas to industrial vessels that have historically caught the most. 📹 Listen to these artisanal fishers from 🇩🇰, 🇮🇪 & 🇪🇸 calling on their governments to #MakeFishingFair and transparent.
