Oceana proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. We are marking two decades of dedicated work protecting and restoring the world's oceans.

This milestone provides an opportunity to spotlight our significant conservation victories achieved globally, reflecting our unwavering commitment to marine life and healthy seas.

Every year, 33 billion pounds of plastic pollute our oceans, choking marine life and breaking into microplastics that we ingest. This global crisis impacts marine ecosystems and human health.

Join us in urging Governor Janet Mills to publicly oppose this project and protect Maine’s coastal way of life. Take action: https://www.Oceana.org/SaveMaine
