Our oceans are vast, open environments teeming with an amazing variety of plant and animal species. Unfortunately, marine life faces
mounting threats from humans – increased ship traffic, pollution,
destructive fishing practices, hunting, and direct capture for trade and
public display. Each one of these actions singularly is harmful
but when compounded, they are devastating for the marine ecosystem system and
the many species that depend on the ocean's resources for survival.

The
Animal Welfare Institute
is committed to safeguarding marine species and their habitats.
Our efforts focus on curbing humankind's damaging impact by
urging governments and other decision makers to use their powers to halt
or prevent damaging actions, as well as educating the public and others
about the deleterious effects their actions can wreak on the oceans' inhabitants.
