Location:

Oceana Canada is an integral part of Oceana, the largest international advocacy organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation. While Oceana Canada focuses its efforts on Canadian waters (Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans), it benefits from and contributes to the global network. This international collaboration allows for the sharing of scientific research, successful policy strategies, and campaign tactics with Oceana offices in Europe, South America (Belize, Brazil, Chile, Peru), Mexico, the Philippines, and the United States. This global reach supports coordinated efforts on transboundary issues like plastic pollution and illegal fishing.
