THE SOLUTION
The good news is, it’s not too late to save our oceans. Rather than waiting for worldwide resolutions, we can bring about change on national levels, thanks to the Law of the Sea. And, because we know which practices are hurting our oceans, we can change the way we fish. We know we need to stop:
- Overfishing our oceans. We need to set quotas grounded in science.
- Destroying vital habitats. We need to ban destructive bottom trawling.
- Wasting non-targeted marine life. We need to reduce the needless, accidental catch of marine wildlife.
TESTIMONIALS »
"All of the big fish -- the marlin, the swordfish, and the shark -- 90 percent are gone, not to come back. There are things you can do and Oceana, I am proud to say, is doing it. We are a campaign-oriented organization working with fishermen and fishing councils all around the country and all around the world. I want to protect fish for my sake and for my children's sake. It is about taking care of what you have been given and passing it on." -- Ted Danson, actor and activist
