Since 2001, when the main office of Oceana in Washington D.C. started working, some campaign victories like saving 60,000 endangered sea turtles, preventing 20 million tonnes of oil being discharged in European waters, protecting thousand_year_old corals in New England and Mid-Atlantic or protecting marine mammals in the southern Pacific and Artic oceans; have been achieved.

A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT ILLEGAL DRIFTNETS
Oceana in the documentary made by the producer EarthOcean about illegal drifnetters in the Mediterranean Sea. The video includes an interview with Xavier Pastor, Oceana’s Director for Europe, and also images of illegal driftnetters recorded during the expeditions on board the catamaran Oceana Ranger. Driftnets are banned since 2002 because they represent a major threat for the conservation of endangered species such as marine turtles and cetaceans.
