In March 2016, the Obama administration removed the Atlantic from oil drilling plans for five years, a decision influenced by coastal residents. This marked a significant victory for Oceana and the people of the East Coast, demonstrating that their voices were heard in Washington.

Shark finning is a brutal, wasteful practice where fins are removed at sea and the shark is discarded, leading to its slow death. Driven by global demand for shark fin soup, this practice contributes significantly to the decline of shark populations worldwide, threatening nearly a quarter of all shark species with extinction.

While shark finning is illegal in U.S. waters, the sale and possession of fins are not. Banning these would prevent the U.S. from participating in the global fin trade, establishing the nation as a leader in protecting these vital ocean creatures. Congress must act to end the buying and selling of shark fins in the United States. Learn more at oceana.org/FinBanNow.

On World Sea Turtle Day, Lilimar, Oceana, One More Generation, and children nationwide delivered over 12,500 letters and drawings to the White House. These messages urged President Obama and Secretary Penny Pritzker to protect threatened and endangered sea turtles in U.S. waters.

Representing all 50 states, the letters called for a simple solution: mandatory use of Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in shrimp nets. These metal grates allow sea turtles and other marine life to escape, preventing their capture by shrimp trawls in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.

Implementing TEDs would save thousands of sea turtles, reduce seafood waste, and create new markets for U.S. shrimpers.

Over 100 coastal communities now oppose the Obama Administration's offshore drilling proposal for the Southeast coast (Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia). This plan threatens jobs, tourism, and risks devastating oil spills like the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster.

Due to widespread opposition from communities, elected leaders, and industries, the Administration is reexamining its proposed leasing plan, with a new draft expected in early 2016. Learn more about the grassroots opposition: usa.oceana.org/seismic-airgun-...

Knowing where your seafood comes from is crucial. An opaque supply chain enables illegal fishing, fraud, health risks, and human trafficking, threatening oceans and consumers. Traceability, by tracking fish from boat to plate, ensures transparency and accountability, making seafood safe, legal, and honestly labeled.
