Protect the ocean. Become a member.
The ocean covers over 70% of our planet. It provides more than half the oxygen we breathe and absorbs nearly a third of our carbon emissions.
For over 40 years, the Marine Conservation Society has been the expert voice in defending fragile habitats, restoring vital ecosystems and inspiring volunteers to confront ocean issues head-on.
Right now, it is in crisis. For years we have been polluting our waters, destroying precious habitats and reducing the ocean’s ability to help fight the climate crisis. With your help we can turn this around.
