A 2019 report highlighted a whale's death from ingesting 88 pounds of plastic, leading to starvation and internal damage. This tragic event underscores a broader, often unseen crisis, as many ocean tragedies caused by plastic go unobserved.

The pervasive plastics crisis deeply impacts marine ecosystems and animals. Oceana's new report compiles the first available data on plastic ingestion and entanglements in U.S. marine mammals and sea turtles, revealing the devastating effects of plastic pollution on ocean life.

To halt the wildlife extinction crisis, we must protect the vital habitats where animals and plants live.

To halt the wildlife extinction crisis, we must protect the vital habitats where animals and plants live.

On Earth Day 2020, Executive Director Kierán Suckling and Public Lands Director Randi Spivak discussed our ambitious goals: protecting 30% of wildlands and waters by 2030, and half by 2050. The conversation emphasized the value of public lands, the importance of bold action, and strategies for ensuring long-term protection for wildlife.

Dr. Katrin Schuhen and her team at Wasser 3.0 (www.wasserdreinull.com) offer a groundbreaking, sustainable approach to remove micropollutants from water. Since 2012, their interdisciplinary expertise has developed cost-effective solutions to eliminate microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and other contaminants.

These flexible methods improve water quality and protect ecosystems globally. A pilot plant in Germany has successfully removed microplastics from urban wastewater since 2019. Dr. Schuhen, with a background in polymer chemistry, is driven by a mission to prevent micropollutants from entering our environment and bodies.

Collapsing ice shelves and calving icebergs in Greenland and Antarctica are now major drivers of sea level rise. The speed of these changes highlights significant gaps in our understanding of how ice sheets respond to climate change, largely due to insufficient measurements from glaciers' marine edges.

For over a decade, Fiammetta Straneo and her Scripps Institution of Oceanography team have probed Greenland's calving glaciers using diverse vehicles. Their research provides crucial data, improving models and sea-level rise predictions. This presentation was recorded on May 13, 2019, as part of the "Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series."

Sea turtles face severe threats, with all six species in U.S. waters listed as endangered or threatened. Thousands are killed annually by fishing gear, while marine debris, oil pollution, habitat loss, and climate change further jeopardize their survival.

Your donation empowers Oceana's campaigns to reduce bycatch, protect critical habitats, stop new offshore drilling, and fight plastic pollution, directly addressing these urgent issues.

Racism denies humanity, sexism demeans, and their intersection limits true freedom. Frances Cudjoe-Waters, a Black woman and Harvard Law alumna, realized the exhaustion of politely presenting her pain to predominantly white audiences. She decided to abandon polite conversation and speak her truth, declaring, "I Ain't Sorry." She never expected to witness the reemergence of civil rights issues like Charlottesville and repeated acquittals for killings of Black individuals, reminiscent of the 1960s. While seeking to facilitate discussions, she recognized the toll of maintaining dispassionate intellectualism. Her family was featured in the Dallas Morning News.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) comprises two limbs. Its upper limb transports warm, tropical waters northward, releasing heat influencing European weather. The lower limb carries cold, dense waters southward at depth.

Driven by solar radiation, the AMOC's upper limb features vigorous currents like the Gulf Stream, flowing north along the Atlantic's western boundary. These currents, forming eddies, carry heat towards higher latitudes, reaching the Nordic Seas to cool and densify.

In regions like the Labrador Sea, these cooled, dense waters plunge via convection to 1000-2000m. This forms the Deep Western Boundary Current, the AMOC's lower limb, flowing slowly southward along the continental slope. Further south, this deep flow is disrupted by topography and eddies, losing its structure.

A remotely operated submersible recently captured a rare video of a living juvenile colossal squid near the Atlantic Ocean's South Sandwich Islands. This foot-long creature, with a transparent body and glowing eyes, offers a glimpse of a species whose adults, never filmed alive, can reach 23 feet and weigh over 1,000 pounds, typically inhabiting Antarctic waters over 3,200 feet deep.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit, believes human welfare is deeply tied to nature's diversity. We work to protect all species from extinction through science, law, and creative media, focusing on safeguarding essential lands, waters, and climate. Our goal is a future where the wild thrives.
