Pollution and over fishing are the two biggest problems in the oceans today. Oil spills and plastic waste thrown into the ocean have a disastrous affect on the marine life. Plastic does not deteriorate and is eaten by unsuspecting animals, most of which die. Oil coats the animals interior as well as their body, sometimes suffocating them. It is very hard to remove.

Over fishing has caused over 90% of the worlds fishing stocks to be depleted. Many young fish are gone in which kills off the whole species and then soon destroys the whole fragile balance of the oceans Eco-system and food chain.

Greenpeace and Oceana are among the largest organizations fighting for our oceans today. They fight commercial fishing and try to establish laws against it. Right now Oceana has protected 1.2 million square miles of the ocean with many species living there.
