What are the biggest threats facing the ocean?

The ocean is essential for the survival of all living things. It regulates our climate, is home to over 260,000 species and provides millions of people in coastal communities with a livelihood.

But it’s at tipping point after decades of:

  • 🎣 Intensive fishing, like bottom trawling: one million turtles, seals, dolphins are killed every year by these bulldozers, which turn sea beds into deserts.
  • 💥Oil & gas drilling, which destroys marine habitats by wrecking the ocean floor, and whose noise leaves whales stranded and distressed.
  • 🧴Plastic pollution: 14 million tons of plastic get dumped into the ocean each year, killing wildlife and polluting our seafood.

The good news is: you can help can STOP profit-mongers from drilling, polluting and exploiting our oceans.

Join the legal fight to protect the ocean

All contributions matched until 9pm GMT on 30 April

Our ocean is at a tipping point from industrial fishing, oil drilling and plastic pollution. That’s why we’re taking legal action against the governments who let companies harm the ocean for profit — and with you behind us, we can hold them accountable.

How does joining ClientEarth help protect the ocean?

The most effective way to force governments to crack down on those who plunder and pollute our ocean is by taking legal action. Because when boycotts, petitions, and public pressure can’t contend with the greed and power of corporations — the law is our strongest ally.

And you can help fund these winning legal battles.

With the support of ocean defenders like you, we’ve launched 43 actions to protect our ocean, including:

✅ Blocking a new fossil fuel project in Italy that would threaten endangered species

✅ Taking legal action against the Spanish, Dutch and French governments for allowing bottom trawling in ocean sanctuaries

✅ Fighting Europe’s largest plastics facility to stop the flow of plastic at the source

We're planning more actions to protect the ocean and other key ecosystems. But we can only continue this vital work with your support.

To celebrate Earth Day, all gifts will be matched at no extra cost, meaning twice the impact.
