Tuna do more than swim across oceans; they connect countries. Dr. Kathryn Matthews, Oceana's Chief Scientist, discusses the importance of global cooperation in managing tuna populations.

Long migrations of tuna necessitate collaborative efforts to maintain healthy stocks and ensure sustainable fishing practices for the future.

Sea otters were once heavily hunted for their fur, leading to a dramatic decline in their population to just a few thousand by the 1900s. However, the Endangered Species Act has played a crucial role in their recovery.

This video highlights five marine animals that have benefited from the protections of the Endangered Species Act in the U.S. Join us in supporting this vital law and defending endangered species at oceana.ly/ESA.

In 2021, Coca-Cola ceased selling refillable glass bottles in Samoa, opting for single-use plastic bottles instead. This shift poses a significant environmental challenge, as Samoa lacks adequate recycling facilities, leading to increased pollution in the ocean.

Recently, members of the Samoan and Pacific Islander communities gathered in London to urge Coca-Cola's largest bottler to protect the ocean and reinstate reusable packaging. They emphasize that Coca-Cola has the solutions needed to address this issue. Join the call for change by signing the petition at oceana.ly/Coca-Cola.

Rare underwater footage captured a faceless cusk eel, named for its unusual appearance. It lacks visible eyes; the dots on its face are actually nostrils. This fish also possesses a small, extendable mouth underneath its head, used to capture food.

NOAA scientists discovered this unique eel during a deepwater exploration of the Marianas. Its peculiar features are likely adaptations to the deep sea's low-light environment, where sight offers little advantage.

Giant manta rays, severely impacted by commercial overfishing and bycatch, were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 2018. Extensive research and recovery efforts are now underway to protect them.
