Helping protect ocean wildlife
The ocean is at the center of the most important food, energy and resource issues of our time. Even if you’ve never seen the ocean before, you’re touched by it every single day. It produces half the air you breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink. It’s also home to some of the most majestic, jaw-dropping life on the planet, and provides countless recreation and travel experiences across the world. But our ocean faces many imposing threats today, from the overwhelming amount of ocean trash to ocean acidification. Ocean Conservancy champions science-based solutions to tackle the largest ocean conservation challenges, and invests in research, leadership and advocacy in order to preserve the ocean for future generations. After all, what happens to the ocean impacts all of us.
