Dear John,


From the Mediterranean to Mexico, our crews are striking at illegal fishing that kills marine life on a massive scale.

In Greece — Octopus Campaign

Aboard the Sea Eagle, our crew has spent months tracking down illegal traps and lines hidden along the seafloor. These devices are meant to catch octopus but destroy everything in their path. So far, they’ve removed more than 34,000 traps, freed over 1,500 octopuses, and cleared nearly 300 kilometers of line from fragile coastal habitats.

Each trap removed is one less silent killer beneath the waves. And as our crew prepares to head back out, your support keeps them fueled and ready for the next sweep.

In Mexico — Scorpion Reef

Each trap removed is one less silent killer beneath the waves. And as our crew prepares to head back out, your support keeps them fueled and ready for the next sweep.

These campaigns represent two sides of the same fight: ending destructive fishing before it wipes out entire ecosystems.  Thank you for helping us stay on the front lines.
