Have you ever wondered about cuttlefish eggs?
Their unique appearance is quite striking.
They are, in fact, truly incredible.
Plastics are now found even in the deepest parts of our oceans, highlighting the pervasive nature of this pollution.
Join Oceana and the #BreakFreeFromPlastic movement to help address this critical issue: https://bit.ly/2FxAZYR.
Octopuses are renowned for their mastery of disguise, but the mimic octopus elevates this ability to an extraordinary level.

A new Southern Resident orca calf was recently spotted, the first live birth seen in this critically endangered species since 2015. While this is positive news, these orcas still face significant threats and need urgent help.
Their survival depends on immediate support. Add your name to help save Southern Resident orcas and #StopExtinction by signing up here.
Southern Resident orcas, known for their intricate social pods, are in critical danger. Only 75 individuals remain, and a devastating nearly 70% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.
These beloved orcas urgently need our help to avoid extinction. Do your part to save them: https://bit.ly/2sSNw24 #StopExtinction.
For eco-friendly canned tuna, look for the "pole and line" label. It’s today’s most sustainable choice.

Van Jones presents a compelling social justice case against plastic pollution. He argues that plastic waste disproportionately harms impoverished communities and nations "first and worst," with far-reaching consequences for everyone, regardless of location or income.
In this powerful TEDxGreatPacificGarbagePatch [TEDxGP2] talk, filmed in 2010, Jones offers actionable ideas to reclaim our "throwaway planet." The event was produced by the Plastic Pollution Coalition at the Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica, California.

Oceans cover 71% of Earth, sustaining over a billion people. Yet, overfishing is rapidly depleting this vital resource, threatening life and protein for a hungry planet.
Fortunately, oceans are remarkably resilient. Ten countries manage most wild seafood, and Oceana has achieved critical policy victories in many, safeguarding over a million square miles.
We can reverse this decline by ending overfishing, controlling bycatch, and protecting ocean nurseries. Join Oceana today to help ensure bountiful oceans for generations to come.
Water holds significantly less oxygen than air, a problem exacerbated as water temperatures rise. This reduction in available oxygen creates a critical challenge for aquatic life.
As our oceans warm, fish and other marine species struggle to breathe. Learn more about the profound impacts these changing conditions have on their survival and the broader ecosystem.
Last year, Oceana celebrated significant victories for our oceans. New global laws and protections were established, safeguarding precious marine life worldwide.
Yet, the vital work continues. Help us sustain the fight for ocean protection in 2016 by making your year-end gift today: http://bit.ly/1QGix0w.
The Obama Administration's proposal to open the Southeast coast to offshore drilling threatens jobs, tourism, and risks devastating oil spills. Communities, elected leaders, and industries across Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia oppose this plan. The administration is currently reexamining and revising its proposed leasing plan.

Seismic airgun testing, used for offshore oil and gas, poses a severe threat to the ocean's soundscape. These powerful blasts injure marine life, endanger regional fisheries, and jeopardize the livelihoods of those dependent on the ocean.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is currently preparing an environmental impact statement (EIS) on expanding seismic testing in the Mid and South Atlantic. BOEM must incorporate the latest science to fully assess these risks. Help raise awareness about this destructive practice. For more information, visit: http://oceana.org/seismic.
Proposed seismic airgun testing in the Atlantic Ocean threatens to injure thousands of whales and dolphins. Oceana is campaigning to stop this harmful activity before it begins.
Support Oceana's efforts. Please sign their petition to stop seismic testing on the White House's website: Stop Seismic Airgun Testing Petition.
Over 1.3 million small-scale fishers in the Philippines, among the nation's poorest, depend entirely on the ocean for their livelihood and to prevent hunger. Learn more about their situation: http://bit.ly/1j7zbrq
Unfortunately, these vital Philippine waters are in crisis. Over 75% of fishing grounds are overexploited, once vibrant coral reefs are degraded, and whale sharks face accidental deaths.
By acting together now, we can restore the ocean's abundance and secure the future for these communities.
Oceana's "One Name One Fish" report emphasizes the critical need for species-specific names for all seafood throughout the supply chain. Understand the full case by reading the report: oceana.org/onenameonefish.
Music for this project was composed by Adam Lindquist: fa-da-do.com. Additional sounds were sourced from numerous contributors on Freesound.org.
Deafening seismic airgun tests are proposed for the Atlantic. We must urge the Obama administration to halt these tests.

Actress Kate Mara ("House of Cards") is partnering with Oceana, driven by her passion for oceans and wildlife. Together, they aim to remove drift gillnets from the water.
These nets indiscriminately entangle and kill thousands of non-targeted marine animals annually, including whales, dolphins, and sea turtles. Watch Kate's powerful call to action against this destructive practice.

Actress Cobie Smulders ("How I Met Your Mother," "The Avengers") is collaborating with Oceana to protect the ocean's hidden gems. She recently explored Belize's South Water Caye Marine Reserve, an area within the Mesoamerican reef teeming with vibrant marine life, including sponges, ascidians, seaweeds, and coral.
