My Interests |
|
EACH YEAR, COMMERCIAL FISHING WORLDWIDE WASTES MORE THAN 16 BILLION POUNDS OF FISH AND KILLS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SEA TURTLES, MARINE MAMMALS AND SEABIRDS. Oceanas Stop DirtyFishing Campaign is fighting to protect these ocean creatures, which are needlessly caught and discarded, usually dead or dying, by fishing operations around the world. Click here to learn more. DESTRUCTIVE TRAWLS AND DREDGES USED FOR COMMERICAL FISHING HAVE DESTROYED AND CONTINUE TO DESTROY ENTIRE SEAFLOOR ENVIRONMENTS necessary to conserve, protect and restore healthy oceans and healthy fish populations. Oceana is campaigning to protect deep sea corals and sponges and other vulnerable seafloor habitat, and to prevent bottom trawling from expanding into new areas. Click here to learn more. MERCURY IS A TOXIC CONTAMINANT THAT IS SHOWING UP IN DANGEROUSLY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS IN THE FISH WE EAT. Oceana is working to educate the public about the dangers of mercury in seafood and stop a major, overlooked source of mercury pollution. Click here to learn more. |
