Take the pledge to protect ocean wildlife.

Dear John,

Oceans are the lifeblood of our planet and cover more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface. But human exploitation and environmental threats—including climate change, the overharvest of fish, plastic pollution, and chemical runoff—are altering the balance of our delicate marine ecosystems.

Over 2,000 oceanic species are listed as endangered or threatened.

John, what is happening to our oceans and marine wildlife is heartbreaking and unimaginable and cannot be ignored. It’s time to take action. Show your commitment to protecting the world’s oceans by taking our pledge.

The Oceans Hub Pledge
I commit to becoming a good steward of the oceans and helping protect marine life and ecosystems.
I pledge to:
Take out what I take in. When visiting beaches, rivers, shorelines, lakes, and ponds, leave nothing behind but your footprints—take trash and plastic out when you go.
Become a conscious consumer. Only purchase fish and seafood from sustainable sources.
Recycle plastic goods and materials that can end up in our oceans.
Be mindful when boating, swimming, or snorkeling not to disturb or harm wildlife.
Take care near dune grasses and tidal ponds that provide habitats for plants and animals.
Speak out. You have a voice in what happens to our planet. Share your commitment with friends, family, and nature lovers you know.

By protecting the health of our oceans together, we can protect the health of a global network of life.

San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance helps conserve wildlife that make their home near or in our oceans. We partner with conservationists and local communities to protect and save polar bears in the Arctic, African penguins in southern Africa, and other vulnerable marine life.

John, join us by signing the pledge. Show your commitment to saving threatened species, as well as preserving the fragile ecosystems of our precious oceans.

P.S. Be sure to forward this email to friends, family, and all you know who love nature. And don’t forget to sign it yourself!
