Urge World Leaders to Protect 30% of Ocean Habitats by 2030

Only 8 % of the world's oceans are protected by marine protected areas (MPAs) but even those areas might not be as protected as they seem. Though most countries recently committed to protect 30% of the oceans by 2030, new analysis suggests that actions are not keeping up with promises.

Demand Canada and the U.S. Take Bilateral Action to Ban Scrubbers

Let's End Cruise Ship Scrubber Pollution in Alaska

The majority of large cruise ships visiting Alaska use exhaust gas scrubber systems as an alternative to burning cleaner but more expensive fuel. These systems result in the daily discharge of millions of gallons of acidic, polluted scrubber wastewater. Cruise ships have a straightforward alternative available right now: burn cleaner fuel and stop using dirty heavy fuel oil and exhaust gas scrubbers.
