Defending Our Oceans 2009

Overfishing is wiping out the world's fish, with 76 percent of the world's fisheries in dire straits. But urgent action can turn the tide on unsustainable fishing.

Thanks to our supporters, 2008 was a non-stop year for Greenpeace across all our campaigns. Through your actions, you showed that the power of many can force positive environmental change. So thanks for the support and we’ll be counting on working with you again in 2009, creating an Energy [R]evolution!

Marine reserves

Due to overfishing, pollution, climate change and habitat destruction, the health of our oceans is declining.

To stop this we need to create marine reserves, which means setting aside protected areas where all harmful activities like fishing, mining, dumping and oil drilling are banned.
