U.S. CAMPAIGN MEDIA CONTACT

Eric Bontrager
Communications Director
ebontrager@oceana.org

Contact Eric for stories about Oceana’s U.S. campaigns on illegal fishing and seafood fraud, climate and energy, plastic pollution, North Atlantic right whales, and responsible fishing. This includes our work to prevent seismic airgun blasting and stop the expansion of offshore drilling, promote offshore wind, reduce bycatch, protect marine life such as sea turtles, sharks, and whales, and stop fisheries subsidies and the destruction of ocean habitat. Eric should also be contacted about Oceana’s work to defend key environmental laws as well as general U.S. marine science and policy questions, including those related to fishing, climate change, and pollution.
