John,

For millions of years, whales have sung across the oceans, haunting songs that carry for thousands of miles through the deep.

Now, one of the oldest songs on Earth is disappearing.

As Trump gives the green light to the fossil fuel industry to push deeper into the ocean, whales are being overwhelmed by relentless industrial noise — while climate-fueled marine heatwaves are collapsing the ecosystems they depend on to survive.

Whales are struggling to communicate, feed, and even care for their young — they are too starving to sing.

But we still have a chance to protect them, with the EU’s groundbreaking new Ocean Act, one of the biggest opportunities in years to secure real legal protections for the world's oceans.

The legislation is being drafted right now. If enough people sign on, we can push EU leaders to include strong protections against the destructive fossil fuel industry, and save our ocean's ecosystem.

Sign the petition demanding strong protections for our oceans in the EU Ocean Act.

When whales stop singing, it signals something is deeply wrong in our oceans.  

Fossil-fuelled climate change is collapsing the food chain whales rely on, as krill die at alarming rates. Toxic algal blooms have triggered what researchers describe as the most widespread poisoning of marine mammals ever documented.

And still, fossil fuel corporations want to push even deeper into seas already under extreme stress. This should be a moment to protect and restore our oceans, not hand them over to more drilling.

In the coming weeks, EU leaders will decide whether the deep ocean becomes protected territory — or an industrial sacrifice zone for the fossil fuel industry. The ocean cannot defend itself from oil giants, mining corporations, and industrial fishing fleets. But millions of us can.

Tell EU leaders: protect our oceans and marine life while there’s still time.

This is our chance to write real protections for our seas into law, so whales can keep singing for generations to come.
