The Conserve Our Ocean Legacy campaign is a non-profit, non-partisan campaign. We are a broad national effort to build support for ocean and fish protection. The nation's fisheries have been declining precipitously for decades; America's oceans are in trouble and need our help. Pollution, habitat destruction, mismanagement and overfishing have impoverished our ocean resources, and have caused more than 90% of the world's large fish, including tuna, swordfish and marlin to disappear from our oceans. The U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, called by Congress and appointed by President Bush, found 'We are beginning to love our oceans to death,' and recommended drastic changes in fisheries management. People who care about healthy oceans have an opportunity to make an impact as the government charts a new course, and we will be working with our coalition to protect and restore America’s living oceans.
