BP Oil Disaster in the Gulf of Mexico Our ocean is the life support system for our planet. It sustains us every day — with the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the climate we need to survive. From our personal actions to the laws that govern our seas, it's time to follow the science and improve the way we care for our ocean. Our media team is here to help tell the story.

Press Kits for Our Main Issues
Marine Protected AreasCalifornia's Marine Life Protection Act is a historic state law requiring a comprehensive, science-based network of marine protected areas to preserve critical habitat for fish and wildlife.
Marine Spatial PlanningWind farms, commercial fishing, diverse recreational uses, offshore drilling, and shipping superhighways are all competing for space in the ocean. It’s time to bring order to the ocean.
FisheriesOverfishing remains one of the biggest threats to our ocean. Using science-based management we can rebuild our fisheries, strengthen coastal economies and improve the health of the ocean.
Trash Free SeasTrash in our ocean is one of the worst pollution threats of our time affecting ecosystems, wildlife and coastal economies. From design to disposal we all have a role in keeping our ocean trash free. 
ArcticThe Arctic, Earth’s air conditioner, is warming at twice the rate as the rest of the planet. The consequences of climate change in this fragile region are massive, and will affect the entire planet.
AquacultureDomestic aquaculture can be part of a sustainable seafood future, but we need strong national standards before industry expansion. Offshore aquaculture is something we need to get right from the start.
