As Goes the Arctic, So Goes the Planet

The Arctic Ocean is facing incredible pressures. As goes the Arctic, so goes the planet. There is no single Arctic treaty, so it is up to our global community to save this vital part of the Earth.

Atlantic Sharks at Risk, June 2008

Results of study show critical need for management action to prevent shark population depletion.

Australian Marine Conservation Society

The Australian Marine Conservation Society creates marine national parks, saves ocean wildlife and makes fisheries sustainable. Their conservation mandate is wide. The Society works strategically with thousands of supporters, governments, scientists and industry partners on core campaigns including Marine National Parks, Sustainable Fisheries, Threatened Species, Coasts and Climate Change.

Beluga Whales

Characterized by their unique creamy white color, belugas have an extensive vocal repertoire and have long been called the "sea canary" by seamen who heard their myriad sounds. Much smaller than many of their whale cousins, they are the only whales that can bend their necks for better maneuverability.

Biodiversity: Rewriting history

Nature 432, 393 - 396 (Nov, 2004) - It is important to know how rapidly species are disappearing so that conservation can target the most endangered. But assessment of declines is difficult for most species because little is known about where they lived in the past. New research on butterflies shows that where species survive today provides clues to their past histories and future prospects. Declining species become restricted to isolated parts of mainly inhospitable habitats, whereas species in... [More]

Bite-Back

Formed in 2002, Bite-Back continues to be the UK's only organisation dedicated to the protection of sharks by reducing consumer demand for its meat and fins.

Blue Frontier Campaign

The Blue Frontier Campaign was founded in 2003 by David Helvarg, author of Blue Frontier – Saving America’s Living Seas. It works to support seaweed (marine grassroots) efforts at the local, regional and national level, with an emphasis on bottom up organizing to bring the voice of citizen-activists into national decision-making that will impact our public seas. There are now some 2,000 blue groups working on ocean and coastal conservation but largely operating in isolation, and with... [More]

Blue Ocean Institute

Blue Ocean Institute works to inspire a closer relationship with the sea through science, art, and literature. We develop conservation solutions that are compassionate to people as well as to ocean wildlife, and we share reliable information that enlightens personal choices, instills hope, and helps restore living abundance in the ocean.

We explicitly seek out and develop new audiences and constituencies for ocean conservation, ranging from American college students to Japanese... [More]

Bluefin Tuna Larval Survey

This report presents the preliminary results of the first-ever larval survey carried out by NGOs. The summer 2008 Oceana-MarViva campaign focused on providing further evidence of active spawning sites for bluefin tuna and other associated species. Larval samples were taken in some of the most relevant bluefin tuna spawning areas in the Mediterranean Sea, including southwest Malta, the southern Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aegean Sea, onboard the research vessel Marviva-Med, from 15 July to 11 August.

Bluewater Network

Bluewater Network works to stop environmental damage from vehicles and vessels, and to protect human health and the planet by reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Bluewater is a division of Friends of the Earth - the U.S. voice of the world's largest network of environmental groups with one million supporters in 70 countries across five continents.

Building Resilient Marine Protected Areas (WWF)

The importance of north western and south western Madagascar's marine and coastal biodiversity and resources is now evident. Their conservation is vital to the development of the concerned regions.

The project seeks to identify appropriate responses to the specific threats posed by climate change in order to protect the biodiversity and socio-economic stability. Efforts will be made to strengthen management of the marine protected areas (MPAs), putting in place sustainable finance fo... [More]

Bycatch

For every four pounds of fish they catch, fishers worldwide throw away more than a pound of other animals. And in some types of gear, like shrimp trawls, the ratio is even worse.

Bycatch Reduction Database

The Bycatch Reduction Techniques database was created as a resource for scientists, fishermen, and fisheries managers to have easier access to references and summaries from bycatch reduction studies, as well as descriptions of various techniques.

Carbon Dioxide: The Curse of the Deep

Carbon’s Burden on the World’s Oceans

by Dr. Carl Safina and Dr. Marah Hardt, June 2008, Yale Environment e360

"The burgeoning amount of carbon dioxide in oceans is affecting a lot more than coral reefs. It is also damaging marine life and, most ominously, threatening the future survival of marine populations."

Caribbean Conservation & Sea Turtle Survival League

The Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC) is a not-for-profit, 501(c)3 organization based in Florida with offices and projects in several other locations. CCC is the oldest and most accomplished sea turtle organization in the world! Since its founding in 1959, CCC's work has greatly improved the survival outlook for several species of sea turtles. CCC is a world-renowned leader in sea turtle research and conservation; we hope you will consider supporting us in our efforts!

'Catch Shares' Give Fisheries New Hope for the Future

Posted: 10-Dec-2008; Updated: 20-Jul-2009

When John Steinbeck wrote Cannery Row in 1945, California's coastline was dotted with thriving fishing communities. Today, the state's fishing industry faces hard times, with working waterfronts giving way to T-shirt shops. The commercial catch has declined 70%, and similar failures are happening all over the world.

The old style of fisheries management – using tactics like ever-shorter fishing seasons – has failed to en... [More]

Cetacean Society International

CSI is an all-volunteer, non-profit, tax-exempt conservation, education, and research organization with representatives in over 25 countries. Our goal is the "optimum utilization of cetacean resources," as called for in the 1946 Treaty of the International Whaling Commission, through the protection of viable habitat and the cessation of all killing and captive display of whales, dolphins, and porpoises. We support and promote benign activities such as regulated whale-watching, non-leth... [More]
