Our Work | Oceana North America

The oceans are in crisis from overfishing, ocean acidification and habitat destruction. Oceana works internationally to alleviate these and other problems through policy-oriented campaigns.

Stop Ocean Pollution

We’re working to keep the oceans free of mercury, oil and other pollutants that threaten marine habitats, wildlife and humans.

Climate & Energy

We’re working to combat the effects of climate change on the oceans and advocate for cleaner energy.

Promote Responsible Fishing

We’re working to reduce overfishing, stop wasteful bycatch, and diminish destructive fishing methods that unnecessarily destroy habitat and kill marine wildlife.

Preserve Special Places

We’re working to protect some of the world’s most beautiful and threatened marine places.

Protect Marine Wildlife

We’re working to protect some of the marine creatures most at risk from irresponsible fishing methods.

Oceana on the Water

We’re working on the water to find and document new marine species, monitor irresponsible fishing methods and make the case for new marine protected areas.
