We know more about Mars than we know about deep ocean life, yet we are destroying it with seabed trawling. We have hunted many whale species to the brink of extinction.

Greenpeace is working to protect the world's whale populations, stop marine pollution and end the destructive over fishing currently threatening the entire ocean ecosystem.
