Greenpeace's Defending our Oceans campaign is commited to defending the health of the world's oceans and the plants, animals and people that depend upon them.
The 'Defending our Oceans' voyage is the single largest expedition that Greenpeace has ever undertaken. This incredible year-long journey will tell the story of the crisis facing our oceans from the Azores to Antarctica, take you to places few humans have been, confront the villains and promote solutions – and you can join us.
While many of us love the ocean, it’s hard to imagine what is happening just beyond our beaches, and hard to picture the scale of destruction and the impact that it’s having. By travelling to most of the oceans in the world, this voyage aims to change this - we will make the unseen, seen.
Every second breath you take comes from the oceans. The oceans give life to our planet. In return we are suffocating them; dredging up too many fish, stealing food from needy mouths, carelessly killing countless creatures including whales, turtles, sea birds and thousand year old corals, we fill the oceans with pollution and warm them with climate change.
Who I'd like to meet: For too long, marine life has been largely open for the taking by anyone possessing the means to exploit it. Rapid advances in technology have meant that the ability, reach and power of vessels and equipment used to exploit marine life now far outweigh nature's ability to maintain it. If left unchecked, this will have far reaching consequences for the marine environment and for people who depend on it.
Ocean life comes in an incredible array of shapes and sizes - from microscopic plankton to the largest of the great whales.
Yet many species have been, or are being, driven towards extinction through devastating human impacts.
The Defending our Oceans voyage will expose these threats, confront the villains and promote solutions such as a global network of ocean parks called marine reserves.

What are your thoughts on: Operators resume oil drilling at Platform Grace By Scott Hadly (Contact) Friday, October 12, 2007 <
It's been 10 years since oil has been sucked from under the ocean floor below Platform Grace, but the company that owns the rig has quietly started drilling for crude again. Denver-based Venoco Inc. prepped the rig, located 12.6 miles off the Oxnard coast, for months and recently opened a "new well spud," said Mike Edwards, the company's vice president. "It's been something we've been looking at since 1999," Edwards said. About 8.8 million barrels of oil and about 22 billion cubic-feet of natural gas were pumped from Platform Grace's wells during its previous operation, which began in 1980 and stopped 17 years later. There remains about 2 million barrels of oil and 2 billion cubic-feet of gas in what is called the Santa Clara oil field, about 300 feet below the surface. At today's prices, the value of the oil alone is about $160 million. But getting that oil will be difficult. The company purchased the rig from Chevron, which stopped pumping for oil there in 1997. Chevron still carries the responsibility for decommissioning the platform. A federal study in 2004 estimated the cost of taking out the platform at $24 million. Since the purchase, Venoco has used Platform Grace as a base for servicing its oil pipelines from nearby Platform Gale. But as oil prices have risen, the cost of pumping whatever remains has become more feasible. The company first mentioned its intentions back in 2005 but didn't start in earnest until this year. While Venoco has been contemplating the move for years, environmentalists — focused on fighting a proposed liquefied natural gas terminal to be moored off Platform Grace — have been caught flat-footed. "This is kind of a surprise," said Larry Godwin, a retired physicist working to stop the proposal to convert Platform Grace into a regas
