RESTORE NOAA, PROTECT OUR OCEANS

OTHER ACTIONS TO HELP PROTECT OUR OCEANS

SAVE THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT FROM EXTINCTION

This landmark law faces grave attacks from anti-environment interests in Congress. Imperiled ocean animals need you to speak up on their behalf, before it’s too late.

SAVE OUR OCEANS FROM THE DANGERS OF DEEP-SEA MINING

The Trump administration initiated the first step toward leasing federal waters for mining and authorizing U.S. companies to mine in international waters. Urge your representatives in Congress to step in to prevent reckless efforts to advance deep-sea mining. 

HELP PROTECT CALIFORNIA BIODIVERSITY

⚠ Only individuals with a valid California address can participate in this action

The abundance and diversity of life found in the waters off Southern California is truly extraordinary. But the marine life here all share a common threat: the risk of becoming entangled in set gillnets. Call on the California legislature to protect this unique ecosystem and support California’s transition away from high-bycatch gillnet fishing. 

PROTECT OUR COASTS FROM OFFSHORE DRILLING

There are efforts in Congress to undermine protections and expand offshore drilling. Protecting our coasts means safeguarding coastal economies, livelihoods, and important American jobs. Use your voice to tell Congress to stand up to legislative attacks that put our coastlines at risk! 

SAY NO TO FOAM

Tell your members of Congress to protect our oceans and health from harmful plastic foam pollution by passing the Farewell to Foam Act today.

HELP EXPAND SEAFOOD TRACEABILITY

Tell Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik and NOAA to expand seafood traceability to all imported seafood so that Americans can have more confidence that the seafood they eat is safe, legally caught, and honestly labeled.
