Global Climate Change and the Ocean
The ocean is the engine that drives our planet’s climate. It is our life support system, providing much of the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the resources we depend on for life every day. The ocean is essential for life. Unfortunately, the ocean will be the first ecosystem to suffer widespread effects of global climate change.
International Coastal Cleanup
Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup is the world's largest volunteer event of its kind. Each year, thousands of volunteers from around the globe participate, clearing tons of trash from coastlines, rivers and lakes and recording every piece of trash collected. This year's cleanup will be held on Sept. 20, 2008.
Right Whale Conservation
Cooperation among conservationists, legislators, recreational and commercial fishermen, and more aggressive and targeted action on shipping and fishing gear regulations is necessary to protect the future of North Atlantic right whales.
Restoring the Health of Gulf of Mexico Fisheries
Rules for managing how many fish we take out of the Gulf were developed as if the Gulf would teem with fish forever. This way of thinking has led to the alarming decline of key fish. Beyond the dinner table, these declines have far-reaching effects on the Gulf ecosystem and the economic viability of fishing communities and the fishermen they support.
SEE Turtles
SEE Turtles is an Ocean Conservancy conservation tourism campaign that links people with sea turtle sites in ways that directly support efforts to protect sea turtles, while increasing resources in communities to help residents thrive and value sea turtles in their environment.
