WE LIVE ON A WATER PLANET.
Oceans cover 71 percent of the globe, and they are as important to us
as they are vast. Not only do they control our climate; they are the
primary source of protein for 1 billion people around the world. They
drive our economies. For millions of sailors, swimmers, and vacationers
of all stripes, they offer a refuge from the metal and concrete that
encase our working lives.
Oceana seeks to make our oceans as rich, healthy
and abundant as they were in our grandparents’ youth. We look to a
future in which dolphin sightings are common along any temperate coast;
in which the mighty swordfish, marlin and tuna are abundant once again;
in which whales and sea turtles thrive, cod are plentiful on both sides
of the Atlantic, local fishing cultures evolve rather then decline and
in which fish are a safe, growing and plentiful source of food around
the world.
In the last few decades we have seen the benefits
of restored rivers and lakes – for ecological and economic health – in
many parts of the world. We can reap the same benefits from healthy
oceans. We can restore ocean ecosystems that will sustain us, entertain
us, amaze us and generate jobs around the world for centuries to come.
