Oceans cover 71% of Earth, sustaining over a billion people. Yet, overfishing is rapidly depleting this vital resource, threatening life and protein for a hungry planet.

Fortunately, oceans are remarkably resilient. Ten countries manage most wild seafood, and Oceana has achieved critical policy victories in many, safeguarding over a million square miles.

We can reverse this decline by ending overfishing, controlling bycatch, and protecting ocean nurseries. Join Oceana today to help ensure bountiful oceans for generations to come.

Founder and creator of what started as a Facebook Group “Phone credit for refugees and displaced people” turned into an organisation that provides vital phone credit to refugees and displaced adults and children around the world. The Facebook group created by James from his computer following an eye-opening trip to Calais. Giving the gift of communication to people who are seperated from family and friends, miles away from home and in very uncertain circumstances. They have supplied over 700,000’s worth of phone credit to displaced adults and children allowing them to make contact with loved ones, stay up to date with news from home and even summon emergency life saving assistance. Over 70,000 Facebook followers and 700,000 worth of top ups for people who need it most. James talk will cover the small thread of where compassion and responsibility end. Showing his perspective of what a community is ? What do we define as 'our own'. How this allowed him to find a creative solution.

Los Angeles, with nearly 10 million residents, depends on imported snowmelt from the distant Eastern Sierra Nevadas and Rocky Mountains for its water supply.

UCLA researchers Stephanie Pincetl and Mark Gold are studying how the city can reduce these imports. Their work focuses on enhancing local water capture, storage, and reuse to establish a more sustainable water system for the region.

The lower Snake River dams are pushing salmon to extinction, threatening orcas, breaking tribal treaties, and harming communities in the Northwest. Removing these four dams would enable the largest river restoration in history, restoring over 5,000 miles of free-flowing habitat for millions of salmon.

Urgent action is needed for better infrastructure and a healthier ecosystem. Tell Congress to restore the lower Snake River and save salmon and orcas before it's too late. Learn more and act: https://dfnd.us/3s1aJvh
