| Desc | INTERNATIONALBELIZEBAN GILLNETSOUR HARD-WON BAN ON GILLNETS WAS ATTACKED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE NEW GOVERNMENT'S ELECTION. A GROUP OF FISHERS FILED A LAWSUIT IN BELIZE'S SUPREME COURT TO OVERTURN THE BAN. IN THE DAYS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE ELECTION, WE DELIVERED TO THE NEW MINISTRY OF FISHERIES (NOW RENAMED THE MINISTRY OF BLUE ECONOMY), A CHRONOLOGY AND ASSOCIATED MATERIAL ON THE MULTI-YEAR AND INCLUSIVE PROCESS THAT HAD CULMINATED IN THE BAN ON GILLNETS. OUR TACTICS PROVED HELPFUL AS THE FISHERIES ADMINISTRATOR WAS FORCED TO SUBMIT AN AFFIDAVIT ATTESTING TO THE FAIRNESS AND THOROUGHNESS OF DECISION-MAKING ON THE BAN. IN JULY, THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THE FISHERS HAD FAILED ON EACH POINT OF THEIR APPLICATION AND DENIED THEIR REQUEST FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW. THE BAN'S ENFORCEMENT IS BEING HANDLED BY THE FISHERIES DEPARTMENT, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE BELIZE COAST GUARD. THE COAST GUARD HAS PUBLICLY COMMITTED TO ENFORCING THE BAN AND THEIR OPERATIONS TO THAT END HAVE BEEN COVERED IN LOCAL PRESS. REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICSVICTORY IN RESOLVING DELAY OF IMPLEMENTATION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS BAN: THROUGHOUT MUCH OF 2021, THE BAN WE ACHIEVED ON SINGLE-USE PLASTIC FOOD ITEMS WAS DELAYED BY TECHNICAL ISSUES FIRST AT THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, AND THEN AT THE BUREAU OF STANDARDS, WHICH SETS THE PARAMETERS FOR THE ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS THAT WOULD REPLACE PROHIBITED ITEMS. IN LATE DECEMBER 2021, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ADVISED THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT THAT THE DELAYS REQUIRED NEW NOTICE PERIODS AHEAD OF IMPLEMENTATION. TO COUNTER THE INDUSTRY LOBBY FOR A LONGER-THAN-NECESSARY NOTICE PERIOD, OCEANA IMMEDIATELY PUSHED AND WON THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE NOTICE WINDOW. IN MID-JANUARY 2022, THE NEW REGULATIONS WERE SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT AND THE NEW THRESHOLD DATE WAS SET AS MARCH 31, 2022. TO EMPHASIZE HIS COMMITMENT TO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BAN, THE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT WARNED IMPORTERS AND MANUFACTURERS THAT PHASE TWO OF THE BAN WILL ADDRESS THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE (PET) SINGLE-USE BOTTLES USED FOR WATER, JUICES AND OTHER LIQUIDS.BRAZILIMPLEMENTING CATCH LIMITS FOR COMMERCIAL FISHERIESOCEANA HAS FACED DELAYS IN OUR CAMPAIGNS IN BRAZIL THAT RELY ON CONGRESSIONAL ACTION, DUE TO A YEAR OF TURMOIL IN 2022 BECAUSE OF THE GENERAL ELECTIONS. OCEANA'S CAMPAIGN TO MODERNIZE BRAZIL'S FISHERY POLICY, HOWEVER, IS ON TRACK. THROUGH A TRANSPARENT CONSULTATION PROCESS, OCEANA SUCCEEDED IN SETTING UP OUR PROPOSAL TO BE THE LEADING LEGISLATIVE VEHICLE FOR REFORM.OCEANA'S PROPOSAL FOR CATCH LIMITS ON RED SNAPPER WAS PRESENTED TO AND ENDORSED BY THE BRAZILIAN ASSOCIATION OF RED SNAPPER PRODUCERS (ABRAPPA) AT THE 1ST FISHERIES CONGRESS OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BRAGANCA IN PARA STATE. MOST OF BRAZIL'S RED SNAPPER FLEET IS CONCENTRATED IN THIS AREA, ALONG WITH COMPANIES THAT PROCESS AND EXPORT THIS FISH. KEY STAKEHOLDERS WERE AT THE CONGRESS, INCLUDING THE MAIN INDUSTRIES, MANY VESSEL OWNERS, AND FISHERS. WE PRESENTED OUR PROPOSAL FOR A RED SNAPPER ANNUAL EXPORT QUOTA, AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL SECTORS AGREE THAT AN EXPORT QUOTA IS THE BEST STRATEGY TO MANAGE THE FISHERY, WHICH IS FACING A CRISIS DUE TO INCREASING ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED (IUU) FISHING AND BIOMASS REDUCTIONS. THE MAIN CHALLENGE IS CREATING A SENSE OF URGENCY AMONG MANAGERS. THE CONGRESS SIGNED AN "OPEN LETTER" (A PROPOSAL BY OCEANA) IN WHICH ALL PARTICIPANTS PUBLICLY CALLED ON THE GOVERNMENT TO (1) RESUME THE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCILS; (2) END IUU AND REGISTER ALL VESSELS; AND (3) IMPLEMENT ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT MEASURES AND A FISHING QUOTA BASED ON THE VOLUME OF RED SNAPPER EXPORTED. ABRAPPA DELIVERED OUR LETTER TO THE MINISTER OF FISHERIES ANDR DE PAULA DURING A MEETING IN BRASILIA.OUR BRAZIL STAFF COMPLETED THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE CONSULTATION PROCESS ON FISHERIES MANAGEMENT EVER CONDUCTED IN BRAZIL IN 2022. OVER THREE MONTHS, OUR TEAM ORGANIZED AND LED A TOTAL OF TEN WORKSHOPS THROUGHOUT BRAZIL TO DISCUSS THE BRAZIL'S FISHERIES LAW WITH ABOUT 150 LEADERS OF THE ARTISANAL FISHING SECTOR, WHO REPRESENT ABOUT ONE MILLION FISHERS THROUGHOUT BRAZIL. WE WON THEIR FULL SUPPORT FOR OCEANA'S PROPOSAL TO REFORM THE CURRENT POLICY. LIMIT SINGLE-USE PLASTICSBRAZIL'S LEADING FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE, IFOOD, COMMITTED TO ADDITIONAL SINGLE-USE PLASTIC REDUCTIONS. THANKS TO OCEANA'S ADVOCACY, FROM 2025 ON IFOOD WILL ELIMINATE 1.5 BILLION OPTIONAL ITEMS (CUTLERY, CUPS, STRAWS, AND PLATES), 1.2 BILLION STYROFOAM PACKAGING ITEMS AND 500,000 PLASTIC BAGS FROM ITS OPERATIONS PER YEAR. THE COMPANY'S COMMITMENT TO ELIMINATE THIS QUANTITY OF PLASTIC POLLUTION IS IMPORTANT IN ITSELF AND ALSO AS A SIGN TO BRAZIL'S CONGRESS THAT REDUCING SINGLE-USE PLASTIC IS BOTH FEASIBLE AND DESIRED BY THE PUBLIC. OCEANA CANADAIN 2022, OCEANA INC. PROVIDED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS AND IN-KIND SUPPORT TO OCEANA CANADA, AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION INCORPORATED UNDER CANADIAN LAW. WITH OUR SUPPORT, OCEANA CANADA ACHIEVED THE FOLLOWING VICTORIES:REBUILD CANADA'S FISHERIESCANADA SET NEW SAFEGUARDS THAT CAN HELP REBUILD WILD FISH STOCKS. THESE REQUIREMENTS FALL UNDER THE FISHERIES ACT, WHICH OCEANA SUCCESSFULLY CAMPAIGNED TO AMEND IN 2019. OCEANA CANADA AND ITS ALLIES ADVOCATED FOR ROBUST RULES TO GUIDE THE RECOVERY OF CANADA'S FISH POPULATIONS, OF WHICH LESS THAN A THIRD ARE CONSIDERED HEALTHY. THIRTY STOCKS ARE LISTED IN THE NEW SAFEGUARDS, AND 16 OF THOSE ARE IN THE "CRITICAL ZONE." THE REQUIREMENTS SET A TARGET, TIMELINE, AND COURSE OF ACTION FOR STOCK REBUILDING, CONTRIBUTING TO MORE SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES, HEALTHY COASTAL COMMUNITIES, AND A MORE ABUNDANT OCEAN.THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT ALSO PROTECTED TWO CRITICALLY DEPLETED SPECIES ATLANTIC MACKEREL AND SOUTHERN GULF SPRING HERRING BY CLOSING THE COMMERCIAL AND BAIT FISHERIES, ADVOCATING FOR FISHERY REBUILDING MEASURES TO BE IMPLEMENTED, AND CALLING FOR THE CLOSURE OF BOTH FISHERIES. ATLANTIC MACKEREL AND SOUTHERN GULF SPRING HERRING PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE NORTHWEST ATLANTIC ECOSYSTEM AND FEED MANY OTHER SPECIES, INCLUDING WHALES, SEABIRDS, AND COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT STOCKS SUCH AS COD AND TUNA. THE GOVERNMENT'S DECISION A DIFFICULT BUT NECESSARY MEASURE CONTRIBUTES TO THE CONSERVATION OF THESE FORAGE FISH AND THE LONG-TERM PROSPERITY OF CANADA'S FISHERIES.LIMIT SINGLE-USE PLASTICS OCEANA SECURED A CAMPAIGN VICTORY IN CANADA AS THE GOVERNMENT BANNED SIX SINGLE-USE PLASTIC (SUP) CATEGORIES OF ITEMS SUCH AS FOOD SERVICE WARE CONTAINERS MADE FROM MULTIPLE TYPES OF PLASTICS. THESE CATEGORIES COVER MORE THAN 30 ITEMS MOST COMMONLY FOUND POLLUTING SHORELINES AND OCEANS, INCLUDING BAGS, CUTLERY, STIR STICKS, RING CARRIERS, STRAWS AND FOODSERVICE WARE (TAKEOUT CONTAINERS, CUPS, BOWLS, PLATES) MADE FROM, OR CONTAINING, PROBLEMATIC PLASTICS. THIS BAN REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY 33 BILLION SINGLE-USE PLASTIC ITEMS THAT WERE BEING THROWN AWAY EVERY SINGLE YEAR IN CANADA AND NOW WILL NOT GO TO MARKET. THIS VICTORY COMES AS A RESULT OF MULTIPLE MEETINGS WITH THE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT, MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AND TOP GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO STRENGTHEN THE BAN. WE RECRUITED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CANADIANS TO TAKE GRASSROOTS ACTIONS TO STAND UP FOR THE OCEANS. WE CURRENTLY ARE ACTING AS AN INTERVENER TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT IN A LAWSUIT BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE PLASTIC INDUSTRY.PROTECT ENDANGERED SPECIES FROM ENTANGLEMENT IN FISHING GEAROCEANA WAS SUCCESSFUL FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW AFTER CALLING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO MAINTAIN ALL MEASURES PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT RIGHT WHALES FROM ENTANGLEMENT IN FISHING GEAR AND SHIP STRIKES. THIS WAS ONE OF OUR CAMPAIGN MILESTONES TOWARD ESTABLISHING PERMANENT REGULATIONS TO PROTECT RIGHT WHALES FROM SHIP STRIKES AND ENTANGLEMENTS IN FISHING GEAR. THE MAINTAINED MEASURES INCLUDE MANDATORY FISHERIES CLOSURES AND VESSEL SLOWDOWNS TO 10 KNOTS WHEN RIGHT WHALES ARE PRESENT. | Desc |

| Desc | UNITED STATESIN THE UNITED STATES, OCEANA IS WORKING ON SCIENCE-BASED POLICY CAMPAIGNS THAT SEEK TO ADVANCE RESPONSIBLE FISHING, STOP NEW OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT, REDUCE ILLEGAL FISHING, PROTECT HABITAT, PROTECT THE NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE, REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICS AND DEFEND THE NATION'S BEDROCK CONSERVATION LAWS.RESPONSIBLE FISHINGNEW AT-SEA MONITORING REQUIREMENTS WILL STRENGTHEN ACCOUNTABILITY AND ABUNDANCE OF THE GROUNDFISH FISHERY IN THE U.S. NORTHEAST. IN 2022, THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE APPROVED A FINAL RULE THAT REQUIRES ALL FISHING IN THE NEW ENGLAND (NORTHEAST) GROUNDFISH FISHERY TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED AT-SEA MONITORS OR ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TO GATHER FIRST-HAND DATA ABOUT WHAT IS BEING CAUGHT AND DISCARDED AT SEA. THIS VICTORY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT OCEANA AND OUR ALLIES, WHO CAMPAIGNED FOR YEARS FOR GREATER OBSERVER COVERAGE LEVELS FOR THIS FISHERY, WHICH HAS SUFFERED FROM DECADES OF OVERFISHING AND EXCESSIVE UNCOUNTED BYCATCH. THIS CHANGE IS CRITICAL FOR THE PROPER OVERSIGHT OF THE 13 SPECIES IN THIS FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PLAN AND WILL ENSURE THAT CATCH IS COUNTED AND ACCOUNTED FOR SO THAT SCIENCE-BASED CATCH LIMITS CAN BE PROPERLY SET AND ENFORCED. SETTING APPROPRIATE CATCH LIMITS CAN INCREASE ABUNDANCE IN THIS IMPORTANT FISHERY.STOP EXPANDED OFFSHORE DRILLINGWE DID NOT SUCCEED IN 2022 IN MAKING OUR PREVIOUS WINS IN OFFSHORE DRILLING PERMANENT THROUGH ENACTMENT INTO LAW. THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT, WHICH WE HAD HOPED TO BE THE BILL THAT WOULD CREATE PERMANENT PROTECTIONS, ENDED UP ALLOWING DRILLING IN THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND IN COOK INLET IN ALASKA, TWO AREAS WHERE WE HAVE BEEN CAMPAIGNING TO EXTEND OUR SUCCESSES IN STOPPING OFFSHORE DRILLING ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. WHILE THE BILL IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CLIMATE BILL IN U.S. HISTORY, WITH INVESTMENTS IN A BROAD RANGE OF CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE ESTIMATED TO REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS BY ROUGHLY 40 PERCENT BY 2030, IT CONTAINS BAD PROVISIONS ON OFFSHORE DRILLING.THE SUCCESSES WE PREVIOUSLY ACHIEVED, HOWEVER, PERSIST DESPITE THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT'S IMPACT ON OFFSHORE DRILLING. IN SEPTEMBER 2020 WE WON A 10-YEAR MORATORIUM ON DRILLING OFFSHORE THE SOUTHEAST U.S., WHICH ALSO EXTENDED AND EXPANDED THE MORATORIUM ON DRILLING IN THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. ALSO, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSED FIVE-YEAR PLAN OIL AND GAS LEASING PLAN (FOR 2023-2028) CONTAINS NO PROPOSED DRILLING ON THE ATLANTIC COAST, THE PACIFIC COAST, IN THE ARCTIC, AND IN THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. DRILLING IN THESE AREAS CANNOT BE ADDED TO THE PLAN AT THIS POINT, SO WE HAVE LOCKED IN THIS PROTECTION DURING THE PERIOD OF THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN. OCEANA IS CONTINUING TO CAMPAIGN TO ENSURE THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S FINAL FIVE-YEAR OIL AND GAS LEASING PROGRAM FOR 2023-2028, WHICH WE EXPECT TO BE ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER 2023, LIMITS NEW OFFSHORE DRILLING.REDUCE ILLEGAL FISHINGOCEANA IS CAMPAIGNING TO IMPROVE THE U.S. DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS AND POLICIES TO ADDRESS ILLEGAL FISHING, TRANSPARENCY AND TRACEABILITY. IN JUNE, PRESIDENT BIDEN ISSUED A NATIONAL SECURITY MEMORANDUM TO DRIVE GOVERNMENT ACTION ON ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED, AND UNREGULATED (IUU) FISHING AND ASSOCIATED LABOR ABUSES. THE MEMO CALLS FOR DEEPER COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION OF LABOR, TRADE, SECURITY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, DIPLOMATIC AND CONSERVATION AGENCIES WITHIN THE US GOVERNMENT. THE MEMO ALSO DIRECTED NOAA TO ISSUE NEW REGULATIONS TOEXPAND THE SEAFOOD IMPORT MONITORING PROGRAM TO ADDITIONAL SPECIES IN 2022 AND TO CONTINUALLY EXPAND THE PROGRAM MOVING FORWARD.IN OCTOBER, PRESIDENT BIDEN ISSUED THE NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY THAT OUTLINES HOW THE UNITED STATES WILL ADVANCE THEIR VITAL INTERESTS AND PURSUE A FREE, OPEN, PROSPEROUS, AND SECURE WORLD. ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED, AND UNREGULATED FISHING IS FEATURED UNDER THREE PRIORITIES IN THE STRATEGY: OUT COMPETING CHINA, COMBATING TRANSNATIONAL CRIME, AND PROTECTING SEA, AIR, AND SPACE.THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA) HAS ALSO ISSUED A PROPOSED RULE TO EXPAND THE DEFINITION OF IUU FISHING THAT IT USES IN IDENTIFYING AND CERTIFYING COUNTRIES ENGAGED IN THIS TYPE OF FISHING. THE CURRENT DEFINITION HAS PREVENTED NOAA FROM TAKING STRONGER ACTION AGAINST BAD ACTORS. THE PROPOSED CHANGES WOULD ALLOW NOAA TO IDENTIFY COUNTRIES FOR FAILURE TO EXERT FLAG STATE CONTROL OVER ITS FISHING VESSEL AS OPPOSED TO THE CURRENT PROCESS WHICH REQUIRES INFORMATION ABOUT SPECIFIC VESSELS ENGAGED IN IUU FISHING, CREATING A SYSTEM MORE ANALOGOUS TO THE EU CARDING APPROACH. WE SUBMITTED COMMENTS ON THE PROPOSED RULE.PROTECT HABITATOCEANA CONDUCTED AN EXPEDITION TO DOCUMENT CORAL AND SPONGE HABITAT NEAR KODIAK, ALASKA AND THE SHUMAGIN ISLANDS AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE IN OUR CAMPAIGN TO GET THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE TO PROTECT AT LEAST 500,000 SQUARE KILOMETERS OF GULF OF ALASKA SEAFLOOR FROM DESTRUCTIVE BOTTOM TRAWLING. IN MAY, OCEANA'S PACIFIC TEAM CIRCUMNAVIGATED KODIAK ISLAND IN THE GULF OF ALASKA, TRAVELING MORE THAN 500 NAUTICAL MILES TO EXPLORE 23 DIFFERENT OCEAN SITES TO DOCUMENT CORALS, SPONGES AND OTHER SEAFLOOR HABITAT AREAS. WE FOUND EXTRAORDINARY CORAL GARDENS IN AREAS STILL OPEN TO TRAWLING, AND AN OCEAN TEEMING WITH LIFE AT EVERY SITE. WE WILL PRESENT OUR FINDINGS TO THE NORTH PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL LATER THIS YEAR TO CREATE NEW PROTECTIONS FOR SEAFLOOR HABITAT IN ALASKA. PROTECT ENDANGERED SPECIES FROM ENTANGLEMENT IN FISHING GEARWE ACHIEVED AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE IN OUR CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT THE CRITICALLY ENDANGERED NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE OF WHICH ONLY 330 ARE ESTIMATED TO REMAIN. IN AUGUST 2022, THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE ISSUED A PROPOSED RULE TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF COLLISIONS BETWEEN RIGHT WHALES AND VESSELS ALONG THE U.S. ATLANTIC COAST. THIS PROPOSED VESSEL SPEED RULE INCLUDES MOST OF OCEANA'S OBJECTIVES FOR THE RULE. COLLISIONS WITH SHIPPING VESSELS IS ONE OF THE TWO MAIN THREATS TO THIS SPECIES, ALONG WITH ENTANGLEMENT IN FISHING GEAR.FURTHERMORE, BECAUSE OF AN INCREASE IN WHALE SIGHTINGS IN 2022, THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE CLOSED THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COMMERCIAL DUNGENESS CRAB FISHERY ON APRIL 8, 2022, FOLLOWED BY THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DUNGENESS CRAB FISHERY AS WELL AS ALL RECREATIONAL DUNGENESS CRAB FISHING ON APRIL 20, 2022. THE EARLIER-THAN- EXPECTED STATEWIDE CLOSURE FOLLOWED SEVERAL HUMPBACK WHALE ENTANGLEMENTS AND WAS IMPLEMENTED CONSISTENT WITH CALIFORNIA'S RISK ASSESSMENT MITIGATION PROGRAM THAT OCEANA HELPED TO DEVELOP. THIS MILESTONE FITS UNDER OUR LARGER CAMPAIGN TO GET THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO REDUCE ENTANGLEMENTS OF ENDANGERED WHALES AND SEA TURTLES IN COMMERCIAL FISHING GEAR BY 80 PERCENT RELATIVE TO 2016 NUMBERS.REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICSIN JUNE, CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SIGNED INTO LAW THE COUNTRY'S STRONGEST PLASTIC SOURCE-REDUCTION POLICY, FOLLOWING A BIPARTISAN VOTE IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE. THE OCEANA-BACKED LAW REQUIRES PRODUCERS TO CUT THEIR SINGLE-USE PLASTIC PACKAGING AND FOOD WARE BY 25 PERCENT BY 2032 AND IMPLEMENTS THE FIRST STATEWIDE REUSE AND REFILL MANDATES. IN ADDITION, IT MAKES PACKAGING AND PLASTIC FOOD WARE PRODUCERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR POLLUTION AND REQUIRES PLASTIC PRODUCERS TO PAY $5 BILLION OVER 10 YEARS IN ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION FUNDS. MORE THAN THREE YEARS OF CAMPAIGNING BY OCEANA AND OUR ALLIES FOR STATEWIDE POLICIES, INCLUDING THE BALLOT INITIATIVE, LED TO THIS VICTORY. AS THE FIFTH-LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD, CALIFORNIA HAS RAISED THE BAR FOR OTHER STATE AND NATIONAL LEVEL PLASTIC REDUCTIONS. WHILE THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A NEED TO REDUCE BEYOND THE 25 PERCENT MANDATED IN THIS NEW LAW, AND TO INVEST IN TOOLS SUCH AS REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE TO HELP REDUCE THE WORST IMPACTS OF POLLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE, THIS LAW REPRESENTS A POWERFUL FIRST STEP THAT OTHER STATES, AND EVEN NATIONS, CAN USE TO BUILD THEIR PLASTICS REDUCTION PROGRAMS. ALSO IN 2022, AND AFTER A YEAR-LONG CAMPAIGN LED BY OCEANA AND OUR ALLIES, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR ANNOUNCED IT WILL PHASE OUT SINGLE-USE PLASTIC IN ALL NATIONAL PARKS, OTHER PUBLIC LANDS, AND OFFICES MANAGED BY THE DEPARTMENT. THIS POLICY WILL REDUCE THE PROCUREMENT, SALE, AND DISTRIBUTION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC PACKAGING AND PRODUCTS IN ALL 423 NATIONAL PARKS, INCLUDING 88 OCEAN AND COASTAL PARKS. TO WIN THIS VICTORY, WE COORDINATED MORE THAN 300 ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES TO CALL ON U.S. INTERIOR SECRETARY DEB HAALAND TO TAKE THIS ACTION AND WORKED WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO REQUIRE SINGLE-USE PLASTIC REDUCTIONS IN NATIONAL PARKS. | Desc |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION'S MISSION: | OCEANA'S MISSION IS TO PROTECT AND RESTORE THE WORLD'S OCEANS. AS THE WORLD'S LARGEST INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOCUSED SOLELY ON OCEAN CONSERVATION, OCEANA DEVELOPS TARGETED, SCIENCE-BASED, THREE-TO-FIVE-YEAR CAMPAIGNS TO ACHIEVE PRACTICAL AND MEASURABLE OUTCOMES FOR THE OCEANS. WITH OFFICES IN 9 COUNTRIES AND THE EUROPEAN UNION, OCEANA BENEFITS FROM LOCAL KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE THAT IS GUIDED BY CENTRAL LEADERSHIP AND SUPPORT IN OUR HEADQUARTERS IN WASHINGTON, DC. OCEANA EMPLOYS MORE THAN 250 INDIVIDUALS GLOBALLY. TODAY, OCEANA HAS GROWN FROM AN AMBITIOUS START-UP TO AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION WITH A RECORD OF RESULTS ON FOUR CONTINENTS. TOGETHER WITH OUR ALLIES, WE HAVE WON MORE THAN 275 SIGNIFICANT POLICY VICTORIES AND PROTECTED MORE THAN 4 MILLION SQUARE MILES OF OCEAN HABITAT. OCEANA SUPPORTS SCIENCE-DRIVEN OCEAN MANAGEMENT IN THE MOST PRODUCTIVE PARTS OF THE WORLD'S OCEANS, WITH TEAMS WORKING IN COUNTRIES WHICH CONTROL MORE THAN A QUARTER OF THE WORLD'S WILD OCEAN FISHERIES (BY CATCH): THE UNITED STATES, THE EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES, THE UNITED KINGDOM, BELIZE, BRAZIL, CANADA, CHILE, MEXICO, PERU AND THE PHILIPPINES. OCEANA'S CAMPAIGNS CARRY OUT SIX KEY STRATEGIES: - STOP OVERFISHING THROUGH SCIENCE-BASED FISHERY MANAGEMENT AND BY DETERRING ILLEGAL FISHING; - REDUCE BYCATCH BY IMPROVING MONITORING AND REPORTING, SETTING BYCATCH LIMITS FOR FISHERIES, AND ENCOURAGING FISHERS TO USE MORE SELECTIVE, SAFER GEAR; - PROTECT HABITATS AND THE ECOSYSTEMS THAT DEPEND ON THEIR HEALTH, - EXPAND TRANSPARENCY OF FISHING ACTIVITY AND GOVERNMENT DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES, - CURB POLLUTION BY STOPPING THE EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING AND REDUCING THE PRODUCTION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS; AND - PROTECT SPECIES THREATENED BY EXTINCTION FROM DESTRUCTIVE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES. OCEANA'S CAMPAIGNS HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE STRATEGIES FOR RESTORING OCEANS. WITH SOUND POLICIES IN PLACE, OCEAN ECOSYSTEMS RECOVER, OFTEN RAPIDLY, AND ABUNDANT FISHERIES RETURN, EVEN EXCEEDING FORMER LEVELS. A FULLY PRODUCTIVE OCEAN CAN PROVIDE A MEAL A DAY FOR A BILLION PEOPLE, FOREVER. TOGETHER WITH OUR ALLIES, WE ARE SAVING THE OCEANS TO FEED THE WORLD. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | CHILE HABITAT PROTECTION CHILE CREATED A NEW MARINE PROTECTED AREA (MPA) CALLED 'PISAGUA SEA' IN NORTHERN CHILE, FOLLOWING FOUR EXPEDITIONS LED BY OCEANA AND THE UNIVERSIDAD ARTURO PRAT AND A SCIENTIFIC RECOMMENDATION TO PROTECT THIS IMPORTANT AREA. DURING THE EXPEDITIONS, OCEANA DOCUMENTED OVER 150 SPECIES, INCLUDING LARGE SCHOOLS OF COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT SPECIES ANCHOVIES AND JACK MACKEREL. PISAGUA SEA, WHICH MEASURES 735 SQUARE KILOMETERS, ALSO HAS ABUNDANT MACROALGAE FORESTS, AND SMALLER ORGANISMS LIKE KRILL AND CRUSTACEANS, MAKING IT THE PERFECT ENVIRONMENT FOR LARGER ANIMALS LIKE FISH, MAMMALS, AND BIRDS TO REPRODUCE. THE NEW MPA IS THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY TO PROTECT NOT ONLY MARINE HABITAT AND SPECIES, BUT ALSO THE LIVELIHOODS OF ARTISANAL FISHERMEN, WHO RELY ON THIS RICHLY BIODIVERSE AREA TO SUPPORT THEIR COMMUNITY AND LOCAL ECONOMY. THE COMMITTEE OF MINISTERS, WHO REPORT DIRECTLY TO CHILE'S PRESIDENT, UNANIMOUSLY REJECTED THE DOMINGA MINING PROJECT AND RESCINDED ITS ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT. THIS IS A MAJOR MILESTONE IN OUR CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT HABITAT IN LA HIGUERA. THE COMMITTEE BASED ITS RULING ON OFFICIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS WHOSE FINDINGS RELIED ON TECHNICAL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OCEANA. MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR THE JUAN FERNANDEZ, DESVENTURADAS, AND TORTEL MPAS HAVE BEEN DRAFTED AND AWAIT FINAL VALIDATION BY LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THE COMMUNITY OF JUAN FERNANDEZ AND THE GOVERNMENT CHOSE OCEANA TO HELP LEAD THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CO-MANAGEMENT (COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENT) PLANS FOR THE MPAS THERE. A SHARED LEADERSHIP APPROACH WILL EMPOWER LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO HELP DEVELOP THE MANAGEMENT PLANS, RECEIVE FUNDS TO SUPPORT MPA ADMINISTRATION, AND BE PARTICIPANTS IN FUTURE DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES, WITH STRONG ATTENTION TO GENDER EQUITY. SALMON AQUACULTURE IN OUR CAMPAIGN TO GET CONGRESS TO REQUIRE THAT SALMON FARMING COMPANIES MAKE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE THE AMOUNTS AND TYPES OF ANTIBIOTICS THEY USE AND TO GET THE GOVERNMENT TO DECREASE SALMON FARMING BY 25 PERCENT FROM 2012 LEVELS BY 2022, THE SENATE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED A BILL ON MARCH 1, 2022, TO REQUIRE TRANSPARENCY IN THE SALMON INDUSTRY AND TO DETER SALMON ESCAPES. THE BILL GUARANTEES ACCESS TO TRANSPARENCY IN THE SALMON INDUSTRY, REQUIRING THE FISHERIES SERVICE TO PERIODICALLY PUBLISH INFORMATION BY COMPANY AND LOCATION ON THE ANTIBIOTIC USE, PESTICIDE USE, SALMON BIOMASS, AND MORTALITIES. THE BILL ALSO DETERS SALMON ESCAPES BY IMPOSING A FINE FOR EVERY ESCAPED SALMON EQUAL TO THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF THE SALMON, THUS ADDRESSING THE EXTERNALITIES CAUSED BY SALMON ESCAPES FOR THE FIRST TIME. IN ADDITION, THE BILL PROVIDES FOR REGULATIONS ON FURTHER PREVENTING SALMON ESCAPES, WITH THE PENALTY OF SUSPENSION OF OPERATION FOR ANY SALMON AQUACULTURE LOCATION THAT FAILS TO COMPLY. END OVERFISHING AND REBUILD STOCKS WE MET OUR 2022 GOALS FOR COMMON HAKE, SARDINES, AND BROWN KELP. WE PERSUADED SERNAPESCA TO ESTABLISH SEVERAL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR COMMON HAKE THAT HAVE RESULTED IN HIGH CONFISCATION OF ILLEGALLY CAUGHT FISH IN THE PAST YEAR. WE ARE IMPLEMENTING THREE OF OUR FOUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT TO IMPROVE THE MONITORING AND SUSTAINABILITY OF SARDINES, WITH OUR FINAL RECOMMENDATION TO BE IMPLEMENTED NEXT YEAR. WE ALSO GOT THE GOVERNMENT TO ADOPT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVING THE MARKET CHAIN FOR KELP AND ESTABLISHING MEASURES FOR ALL IDENTIFIED BREECHES OF IUU POINTS WE IDENTIFIED. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | EUROPE ILLEGAL FISHING ITALIAN AUTHORITIES COMMITTED TO INVESTIGATE THE FISHING ACTIVITY OF ALL THE VESSELS IDENTIFIED BY OCEANA AS TRAWLING INSIDE A PROHIBITED AREA, AND TO UPDATE US. OCEANA HAD SHARED AN ANALYSIS OF APPARENT BOTTOM TRAWLING INSIDE A PROHIBITED AREA WITH THE GENERAL FISHERIES COMMISSION OF THE MEDITERRANEAN (GFCM) SECRETARIAT, THE EUROPEAN UNION, ITALY AND TUNISIA AHEAD OF THE GFCM COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE MEETING IN APRIL. OUR RESULTS SHOWED POTENTIAL TRAWLING BY 13 VESSELS INSIDE WEST GELA BASIN WHERE BOTTOM TRAWLING IS BANNED. THE ITALIAN AUTHORITIES' COMMITMENT IS A MILESTONE TOWARDS OUR LARGER GOAL OF GETTING THE GFCM TO STRENGTHEN ITS LIST OF AUTHORIZED VESSELS AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE CONSERVATION OF ATLANTIC TUNAS (ICCAT) TO REQUIRE ITS MEMBERS TO SANCTION THEIR CITIZENS IF THEY SUPPORT IUU FISHING. ALSO IN 2022, HYDOR AS, A NORWEGIAN-BASED INSURANCE COMPANY, ENDED ITS CONTRACT WITH A FLEET OF VESSELS THAT WERE LISTED BY ICCAT FOR ILLEGALLY FISHING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. THIS DECISION FOLLOWS CAMPAIGNING BY OCEANA AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE FOUNDATION, WHO TOGETHER WARNED HYDOR ABOUT ITS UNWITTING SUPPORT OF ILLEGAL FISHING OPERATORS. HABITAT CAMPAIGN OCEANA ACHIEVED TWO MILESTONES IN OUR CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT AT LEAST THREE BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOTS IN EUROPE BY 2023 TOWARDS OUR LARGER GOAL OF BUILDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MPA NETWORK IN EUROPE. FIRST, IN EARLY 2022, THE GENERAL FISHERIES COMMISSION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN (GFCM) OFFICIALLY ENDORSED OCEANA'S PROPOSAL TO PROTECT CABLIERS BANK AND ITS UNIQUE DEEP-SEA CORAL REEFS FROM BOTTOM FISHING. THIS AREA IS IN THE ALBORAN SEA, THE WESTERNMOST PART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN. AFTER GAINING POLITICAL SUPPORT FROM THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, SPAIN, AND MOROCCO, OUR ADVOCACY WORK LED TO THE FORMAL ENDORSEMENT BY THE GFCM SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE IN JUNE. THIS PAVES THE WAY FOR A FORMAL ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED FISHERY RESTRICTED AREA AT THE ANNUAL GFCM MEETING IN NOVEMBER. SECOND, ON WORLD OCEAN DAY IN JUNE 2022, THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED ITS COMMITMENT TO INCREASE MPA COVERAGE TO 25 PERCENT OF SPANISH WATERS BY 2025, AS PART OF A LONGER-TERM ROADMAP TOWARDS 30 PERCENT PROTECTION BY 2030. THIS DETAILED PLAN INCLUDES SEVERAL AREAS THAT OCEANA HAS RESEARCHED AND ADVOCATED TO PROTECT (E.G., THE CAP BRETON CANYON, SEAMOUNTS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE CANARY ISLANDS, AND SEVERAL SITES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA). OCEANA ACHIEVED TWO MILESTONES THIS YEAR IN ITS CAMPAIGN TO IMPLEMENT LEGISLATION THAT PROHIBITS BOTTOM-TOWED FISHING GEAR IN COASTAL AND MARINE PROTECTED AREAS BY 2026: FIRST, THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION STATED ITS AMBITION TO END BOTTOM TRAWLING IN MPAS WHEN IT PUBLISHED ITS LONG-AWAITED ACTION PLAN TO PROTECT AND RESTORE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS FOR SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT FISHERIES. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE COMMISSION MENTIONED PROHIBITING BOTTOM TRAWLING IN AN OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION AND REFLECTS OCEANA'S PRIORITY CAMPAIGN GOAL. SECOND, THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION'S REPORT ON THE FUNCTIONING OF THE EU COMMON FISHERIES POLICY (CFP) RECOGNIZED THE FAILURE OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN MPAS, INCLUDING THE INEFFECTIVE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT INSIDE OFFSHORE MPAS, WHICH OCEANA HAD EXPOSED. REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICS THE GOVERNMENT OF SPAIN PASSED A NEW LAW THAT INCLUDES MEASURES THAT GO BEYOND THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EU SINGLE-USE PLASTICS DIRECTIVE, BY ESTABLISHING A BASIS FOR FUTURE DEPOSIT-RETURN SCHEMES; REDUCING SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FACILITIES; MAKING PLASTIC PRODUCERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR COVERING THE COSTS OF BEACH CLEAN-UPS; AND ENABLING MUNICIPALITIES TO BAN MASS BALLOON RELEASES AND SMOKING ON BEACHES. THE LAW ON WASTE AND CONTAMINATED SOILS FOR A CIRCULAR ECONOMY WAS ADOPTED IN APRIL FOLLOWING CAMPAIGNING BY OCEANA AND OUR ALLIES. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | MEXICO TRANSPARENCY AND TRACEABILITY IN AUGUST 2022, THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT MADE PUBLIC ITS PLAN UNDER THE HIGH-LEVEL PANEL FOR A SUSTAINABLE OCEAN ECONOMY THAT INCLUDES APPROVING THE SEAFOOD TRACEABILITY STANDARD AMONG ITS TOP PRIORITIES. WE BELIEVE THAT THE GOVERNMENT'S PUBLICIZING OF THIS PLAN WILL EXPEDITE APPROVAL OF THE STANDARD, AND WE WILL REMAIN VIGILANT TO ENSURE THIS OCCURS. IN MARCH 2021, OCEANA ACHIEVED A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS GAINING A SEAFOOD TRACEABILITY STANDARD FOR MEXICO WHEN CONAPESCA'S TECHNICAL COMMITTEE ON TRACEABILITY AGREED ON A FINAL DRAFT OF THE RULE THAT INCLUDES RECOMMENDATIONS DEVELOPED BY OCEANA. THE PROCESS TO FINALIZE THE REGULATION HAS BEEN STALLED SINCE THEN, HOWEVER, DUE MAINLY TO LEADERSHIP CHANGES AT CONAPESCA. THE STALL LED US TO FOCUS ON OTHER POLICYMAKERS WHO COULD HELP ADVANCE THE TRACEABILITY STANDARD, INCLUDING THE SECRETARIES OF ECONOMY AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND SENATORS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE TRADE AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEES. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN PUTTING FORTH ECONOMIC AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE ARGUMENTS SINCE LAST YEAR TO RAISE THE PROFILE OF FISHING TRANSPARENCY AND THE NEED FOR A TRACEABILITY STANDARD. THE COMMITMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES-MEXICO-CANADA TRADE AGREEMENT (USMCA), COMBINED WITH RECENT U.S. SANCTIONS OF SEAFOOD BEING EXPORTED BY MEXICO, LED TO IN-PERSON MEETINGS FOR OCEANA WITH THE U.S. AMBASSADOR TO MEXICO AND THE MEXICAN AMBASSADOR TO THE U.S. IN THESE MEETINGS, WE PROPOSED SPECIFIC POLICY CHANGES THAT FOCUS ON TRANSPARENCY, DATA GATHERING, SEAFOOD TRACEABILITY STANDARDS, AND THE ADOPTION OF THE PORT STATE MEASURES AGREEMENT. ILLEGAL FISHING WE ACHIEVED TWO KEY MILESTONES RELATED TO STOPPING ILLEGAL FISHING IN ALACRANES REEF NATIONAL PARK FOLLOWING 1) THE NOVEMBER RELEASE OF OUR AUDIT OF 39 MARINE PROTECTED AREAS IN MEXICO, AND 2) THE JULY RELEASE OF THE SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS FROM OUR AUGUST 2021 EXPEDITION TO BAJOS DEL NORTE IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. FIRST, THE COMMISSIONER OF CONANP, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF MPAS, MET WITH OCEANA AND INFORMED US THAT THERE WOULD BE INCREASED SURVEILLANCE IN ALACRANES TO MONITOR IUU FISHING AND ILLEGAL TOURISM ACTIVITIES IN THE PROTECTED AREA. HE ALSO AGREED TO WORK WITH US ON CREATING A NEW MPA IN BAJOS DEL NORTE AFTER SEEING THE RESULTS OF OUR AUGUST 2021 EXPEDITION THERE. SECOND, SENATORS NANCY DE LA SIERRA AND RAL BOLAOS CACHO FROM THE ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE IN THE SENATE INTRODUCED FOLLOWING OCEANA'S MPA AUDIT A BILL TO REQUIRE VESSEL MONITORING SYSTEM (VMS) TRACKING FOR MEXICAN VESSELS ENTERING MPAS AND FORBIDDING INDUSTRIAL FISHING ACTIVITIES IN CORE ZONES IN MPAS. FISHERIES REBUILDING IN JUNE 2022, OCEANA PRESENTED A FISHERIES REBUILDING PROPOSAL FOR REFORM OF THE GENERAL FISHERIES LAW TO THE HOUSE FISHERIES COMMITTEE. THE PRESIDENTS OF BOTH THE FISHERIES COMMITTEE IN THE LOWER CHAMBER AND IN THE SENATE HAVE INVITED OCEANA TO SERVE AS TECHNICAL ADVISORS AS THEY WORK TO REFORM THE COUNTRY'S GENERAL FISHERIES LAW TO INCLUDE A REQUIREMENT FOR REBUILDING DEPLETED FISHERIES. THE PRESIDENT OF THE FISHERIES COMMITTEE IN THE SENATE ALSO AGREED TO INCLUDE FISHERIES REBUILDING AS A TOP PRIORITY FOR THE PRESIDENTS PARTY IN THIS LEGISLATIVE PERIOD. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | PERU IN PERU, WE CONDUCTED A THOROUGH CAMPAIGN REVIEW AND CONSOLIDATED OUR GOALS INTO THREE CAMPAIGNS, WINNING ONE MULTI-YEAR CAMPAIGN VICTORY, A NATIONAL LAW AGAINST FISHERIES CRIMES, A YEAR AHEAD OF OUR TIMELINE. WE ACHIEVED MILESTONES BUT ALSO ENCOUNTERED DELAYS IN OUR OTHER TWO CAMPAIGNS: TO REFORM PERU'S FISHERIES ACT AND PROTECT THE 5-MILE ZONE. OUR LEADERSHIP ON THE OIL SPILL EARLIER THIS YEAR AND OUR EFFORT TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH ARTISANAL FISHERS THROUGHOUT PERU, ALONG WITH SUCCESSFUL COMMUNICATIONS, HAS GAINED US WIDE RECOGNITION AS THE MAIN NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION FIGHTING OIL POLLUTION AND ILLEGAL FISHING IN PERU. THIS WAS ACHIEVED AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF A POLITICAL CRISIS THAT BEGAN IN 2016 AND CONTINUES TO ESCALATE, RESULTING IN CONSTANT STAFF CHANGES IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND THE DIVERSION OF CONGRESS ON DISPUTES WITH THE PRESIDENT RATHER THAN POLICYMAKING. OUR TACTICS HAVE FOCUSED ON BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE ARTISANAL FISHING SECTOR WHOSE SUPPORT IS CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS, THROUGH TRIPS THROUGHOUT PERU'S COAST TO MEET WITH FISHING LEADERS AND FISHERS. WE ARE ALSO BUILDING ADVOCATES IN CONGRESS BY MEETING REGULARLY WITH CONGRESSPEOPLE, ONE-BY-ONE, TO NURTURE PARTNERSHIPS. ILLEGAL FISHING THE CONGRESS APPROVED THE MODIFICATION OF THE ORGANIZED CRIMES ACT, WHICH NOW DEFINES ILLEGAL FISHING AND WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING AS CRIMES THAT CAN BE INVESTIGATED AND PROSECUTED AS ORGANIZED CRIME. OCEANA WORKED WITH THE CONGRESS' JUSTICE COMMISSION ON THIS BILL, WHICH RESULTED IN THE BILL'S APPROVAL IN LATE APRIL 2022. THE REFORM WAS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY IN THE CONGRESS PLENARY IN JUNE 2022 AND PRESENTED TO THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH FOR THE OFFICIAL DECLARATION. THE BILL ADDRESSES THE FACT THAT ILLEGAL FISHING AND TRAFFICKING OF MARINE SPECIES ARE NOT ISOLATED CASES BUT ARE THE RESULT OF CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE BEHIND THESE CRIMES. THE NEW LAW WILL ALLOW THIS PROBLEM TO BE TREATED WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS, SUCH AS WIRETAPS, UNDERCOVER AGENTS AND THE BEST TEAMS FROM THE SPECIALIZED POLICE TO PROSECUTE THESE CRIMES. IN JULY 2022, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH SUGGESTED A MINOR TEXT AMENDMENT TO INCLUDE FRESHWATER WILDLIFE IN THE FINAL TEXT. FISHERIES MANAGEMENT OCEANA PERSUADED THE CONGRESSIONAL PRODUCTION COMMITTEE TO APPROVE A BILL AMENDING THE FISHERIES ACT, A KEY MILESTONE TOWARD OUR GOAL TO GET CONGRESS TO AMEND THE FISHERIES ACT TO INCLUDE CRITICAL PRINCIPLES FOR SCIENCE-BASED MANAGEMENT. THE BILL WILL (I) PROTECT THE FIRST FIVE MILES FROM THE COAST FROM DESTRUCTIVE GEAR AND RECLASSIFY THE FISHING FLEET SO THAT VESSELS TREATED AS ARTISANAL TRULY ARE ARTISANAL; (II) IMPLEMENT MEASURES TO RECOVER OVEREXPLOITED FISHERIES; AND (III) SET FISHING QUOTAS OBSERVING REFERENCE POINTS TO ENSURE SUSTAINABILITY. PHILIPPINES STOP ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL FISHING IN MUNICIPAL WATERS THE COMMERCIAL FISHING INDUSTRY HAS WAGED A RELENTLESS CAMPAIGN AGAINST OUR EFFORTS FIGHTING ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL FISHING IN MUNICIPAL WATERS, A PROMINENT EXAMPLE OF WHICH IS THE PR CAMPAIGN THEY LAUNCHED IN SEPTEMBER PROMOTING THE NEED FOR THEM TO FISH IN MUNICIPAL WATERS. THE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN EMBOLDENED BY THE CONTINUING DELAYS IN ENACTING THE RULES GOVERNING VESSEL MONITORING DEVICE INSTALLATIONS ON FISHING VESSELS, AS WELL AS LEGAL CHALLENGES TO THE VESSEL MONITORING MEASURES THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN UP BY SOME COURTS IN THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE INDUSTRY'S EFFORTS, BOTH IN THE MEDIA AND VIA THE COURTS SYSTEM, AND WE HAVE CONTINUED TO ENGAGE WITH RELEVANT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND STAKEHOLDERS TO URGE THEM FORWARD IN FULFILLING THEIR MANDATES TO IMPLEMENT VESSEL MONITORING MEASURES. TO THAT END, WE HAVE MADE GOOD PROGRESS IN OUR EFFORTS LIAISING WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS: IN SEPTEMBER THE NEW SOLICITOR GENERAL ISSUED A MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES REASSERTING THAT THE FISHERIES BUREAU AND THE NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (NTC) MAY ENFORCE THE VESSEL MONITORING RULES NATIONWIDE. FORMER DIRECTOR DOMENDEN OF THE FISHERIES BUREAU ALSO ISSUED AN ORDER REQUIRING ALL INDUSTRY MEMBERS WITHOUT A TRACKING DEVICE TO SECURE THE IDENTITY NUMBER FROM THE NTC, THOUGH THIS TOO IS BEING CHALLENGED BY THE INDUSTRY AND MIGHT LEAD TO A DELAY. DETER ILLEGAL DUMP AND FILL ACTIVITY OCEANA ACHIEVED OUR MULTI-YEAR CAMPAIGN GOAL TO DETER BY 2022 ILLEGAL DUMP-AND-FILL PROJECTS THAT COULD HARM MARINE ECOSYSTEMS. WINNING STRONG POLICY ACTION BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS REQUIRES STRICT ADHERENCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BEFORE ALLOWING DUMP-AND-FILL PROJECTS. THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SIGNED A POLICY REITERATING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS OVER PROJECTS COVERED BY THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT'S POLICY THAT CAN SUBJECT AUTHORITIES TO ADMINISTRATIVE, CIVIL, OR CRIMINAL LIABILITY UNDER EXISTING LAWS. THIS POLICY EMPHASIZES TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THEIR CRITICAL AND PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE HEALTHY AND RESILIENT NATURAL ECOSYSTEMS. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS MUST COMPLY WITH SAFEGUARDS THAT INCLUDE PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND RIGOROUS ASSESSMENTS OF PROPOSED PROJECTS. THESE ASSESSMENTS MUST FOCUS ON EFFECTS ON LIVELIHOODS OF SMALL-SCALE FISHERS, AS WELL AS THE EFFECTS ON SENSITIVE HABITATS SUCH AS CORAL REEFS, SEAGRASS AND MANGROVE FORESTS THAT PROTECT TYPHOON-PRONE ISLANDS AND SEQUESTER CARBON DIOXIDE. PARALLEL TO THE POLICY ISSUANCE, OCEANA IS SET TO LAUNCH A SCORECARD TO GUIDE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND CITIZENS ON THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF FISHERIES AND RELATED LAWS THAT NEED TO BE COMPLIED WITH BEFORE UNDERTAKING DUMP-AND-FILL PROJECTS THAT HARM THE ENVIRONMENT. STRENGTHEN CORAL-RICH MARINE PROTECTED AREAS ESTABLISHMENT OF PANAON ISLAND IN SOUTHERN LEYTE AS A CORAL-RICH MPAS HAS BEEN DELAYED BY INACTION WITHIN THE BIODIVERSITY MANAGEMENT BUREAU (BMB). THOUGH OUR LEGISLATION HAS BEEN FILED IN CONGRESS, AND A MILESTONE WAS REACHED WHEN THE REGIONAL COMMITTEE APPROVED THE PROTECTED AREA SUITABILITY ASSESSMENT FOR PANAON ISLAND, THAT ASSESSMENT MUST FIRST BE ENDORSED BY THE BMB, WHICH HAS THUS FAR GIVEN NO INDICATION THAT IT WILL DO SO. THEREFORE, WE ARE APPEALING TO THE SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RECOMMENDING THE MPA TO THE PRESIDENT, WHO WOULD THEN ISSUE A PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION FOR PANAON ISLAND AS A PROTECTED AREA. PROTECT SARDINES SETBACK: THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES' INACTION HAS PREVENTED THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT AREAS FROM TAKING NECESSARY ACTIONS TO PROTECT SARDINES. AS A RESULT, OCEANA IS PROPOSING TO GET THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS TO ACT AND TARGET STRATEGIC DECISION-MAKERS INDIVIDUALLY. THIS SHIFT WILL LIKELY DELAY BY ONE YEAR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF OUR GOAL TO PROTECT SARDINES AND ESTABLISH FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREAS BY MARCH 2023. RESTORE MANGROVE FORESTS IN 2022, WE SURPASSED OUR 2023 CAMPAIGN GOAL TO PERSUADE 10 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PASS LEGAL INSTRUMENTS TO ESTABLISH LOCAL COASTAL GREENBELT ZONES, WITH OUR 11TH ORDINANCE RECENTLY SECURED AS PART OF OUR CAMPAIGN TO RESTORE MANGROVE FORESTS IN THE PHILIPPINES. THESE COASTAL GREENBELT ZONE ORDINANCES PRIMARILY SEEK TO PROTECT MANGROVE AND BEACH FOREST SPECIES, PREVENT COASTAL EROSION AND MITIGATE THE ADVERSE IMPACTS OF NATURAL COASTAL HAZARDS. REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICS OUR MULTI-YEAR CAMPAIGN TO ESTABLISH A NATIONWIDE BAN ON SINGLE-USE PLASTICS THROUGH WINNING A KEY LAWSUIT IS CURRENTLY DELAYED AS THE LAWSUIT IS AWAITING JUDGMENT BY THE COURT OF APPEALS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | UNITED KINGDOM OCEANA LAUNCHED TWO NEW CAMPAIGNS IN THE UK IN THE SUMMER OF 2022: - BY 2026, 20 PERCENT OF UK SEAS ARE FULLY PROTECTED FROM BOTTOM-TOWED FISHING GEAR. THIS INCLUDES BANNING BOTTOM TRAWLING, THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE FORM OF INDUSTRIAL FISHING, AS WELL AS DREDGING AND OTHER METHODS THAT DESTROY SEAFLOOR HABITAT. - BY 2026, ALL COMMERCIAL STOCKS, INCLUDING SHARED STOCKS, AROUND THE UK ARE FISHED AT SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT LEVELS. THIS WILL HELP DEPLETED STOCKS RECOVER, SUPPORT THOUSANDS OF FISHING JOBS, AND HELP COASTAL COMMUNITIES ADAPT TO THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. IN DECEMBER 2022, OCEANA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED ANOTHER NEW CAMPAIGN IN THE UNITED KINGDOM TO GET THE GOVERNMENT TO BAN NEW OFFSHORE DRILLING IN THE UK'S EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE BY 2028. FISHERIES MANAGEMENT OCEANA WAS SUCCESSFUL IN GAINING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UK AND THE EU TO FOLLOW SCIENTIFIC ADVICE IN SETTING THE 2022 AND 2023 TACS (TOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCH LIMITS) FOR NORTH SEA SANDEEL, A FORAGE FISH CAUGHT PRIMARILY FOR REDUCTION TO FISH MEAL AND OIL AS PART OF OUR CAMPAIGN TO ENSURE THAT ALL COMMERCIAL STOCKS, INCLUDING SHARED STOCKS, AROUND THE UK ARE FISHED AT SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT LEVELS. FOLLOWING CAMPAIGNING BY OCEANA, IN DECEMBER 2022 THE UK AND EU REACHED AN AGREEMENT TO FOLLOW SCIENTIFIC ADVICE ON THE 2022 TAC FOR NORTH SEA SANDEEL. THE UK GOVERNMENT HAS ALSO PUBLISHED A CONSULTATION ON ITS INDUSTRIAL FISHING STRATEGY, PROPOSING EITHER A FULL OR PARTIAL CLOSURE TO ALL SANDEEL FISHING IN ENGLAND'S WATERS. A FULL CLOSURE WOULD BE WELCOME NEWS AND SOMETHING OCEANA HAS BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THREE YEARS. TRANSPARENT OCEANS INITIATIVE THROUGHOUT 2022, OCEANA'S TRANSPARENT OCEANS INITIATIVE (TOI) HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON ILLUMINATING THE HARMFUL IMPACT OF DISTANT WATER FISHING AND PUSHING THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION (WTO) TO END HARMFUL FISHING SUBSIDIES THAT ENCOURAGE OVERFISHING WITHIN THESE FLEETS. ON MARCH 23, TOI RELEASED A NEW INVESTIGATION INTO THE LINKAGES BETWEEN ILLEGAL FISHING AND OTHER MARITIME CRIMES. DR. DYHIA BELHABIB AND HER TEAM ANALYZED A DATABASE OF 6,053 RECORDED VIOLATIONS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW AT-SEA VIOLATIONS ARE DISTRIBUTED AMONGST THE GLOBAL FISHING FLEET. ACCORDING TO DR. BELHABIB'S RESEARCH, AT LEAST ONE THIRD OF ALL RECORDED OFFENSES IN THE DATABASE ARE ASSOCIATED WITH JUST 20 COMPANIES AND 450 INDUSTRIAL FISHING VESSELS. THE INVESTIGATION ALSO FOUND THAT HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AT TIMES GO HAND IN HAND WITH OTHER OFFENSES - APPROXIMATELY 11 PERCENT OF ALL RECORDED OFFENSES INVOLVED LABOR AND HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, ALMOST ALL COMMITTED BY INDUSTRIAL FISHERS. THIS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS THE FACT THAT CURRENT SANCTIONS TO PREVENT ILLEGAL FISHING AND OTHER MARITIME CRIMES ARE NOT ONLY INADEQUATE TO PREVENT ABUSES AT SEA BUT ARE OFTEN DISPROPORTIONATELY LEVIED AGAINST SMALL-SCALE FISHERS. INDUSTRIAL VESSELS AND FISHING COMPANIES, MEANWHILE, ARE LEFT LARGELY OFF THE HOOK. BY BETTER UNDERSTANDING WHICH COMPANIES, VESSELS, OR COUNTRIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAJORITY OF MARITIME OFFENSES, WE CAN BETTER DESIGN SANCTIONS OR ENFORCEMENT MEASURES TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR OCEANS AND THOSE WHO RELY ON THEM. THESE SHOULD NOT ONLY INCLUDE TOUGHER PENALTIES BUT ALSO NEW POLICIES THAT INCENTIVIZE BEHAVIOR CHANGE. IN DECEMBER WE RELEASED THE BLUE SHARK REPORT, A NEW OCEANA-COMMISSIONED STUDY THAT REVEALS VESSELS AUTHORIZED TO FISH FOR TUNA IN THE HIGH SEAS ARE OPERATING MAJOR SHARK FISHERIES, PROPPING UP A MASSIVE BLUE SHARK (PRIONACE GLAUCA) COMMERCIAL FISHERY WITH A LANDING VALUE WORTH USD $411 MILLION. THIS FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND ANALYSIS SHOWS THE CATCH VALUE OF BLUE SHARK EXCEEDS THAT OF EACH OF THE THREE ICONIC BLUEFIN TUNA FISHERIES. THE REPORT CONFIRMS BLUE SHARK REPRESENTS 60% OF ALL REPORTED GLOBAL SHARK CATCHES, SINGULARLY DOMINATING BOTH THE SHARK FIN AND MEAT TRADE, WHILE DIRECT MANAGEMENT OF THE SPECIES REMAINS ABSENT. THIS REPORT DEMONSTRATES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GLOBAL BLUE SHARK FISHERY, FOR THE FIRST TIME QUANTIFYING ITS GLOBAL CATCH AND ECONOMIC VALUE AND MAPPING THE GLOBAL TRADE NETWORK FOR ITS MEAT AND FINS. THE REPORT RECOMMENDS REFORMS TO PROVIDE DIRECT MANAGEMENT OF BLUE SHARKS IN THE JURISDICTIONS OF REGIONAL FISHERIES MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS (RFMOS) WHERE THEY ARE MOSTLY CAUGHT. IT ARGUES THAT MOST BLUE SHARK CATCH IS TARGETED, AND THAT IT IS MISLEADING TO MERELY CONSIDER BLUE SHARK AS 'BYCATCH' SPECIES UNINTENTIONALLY CAUGHT AND/OR DISCARDED WHEN FISHING FOR ANOTHER TARGETED SPECIES. BASED ON DATA REPORTED TO THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO) AND TUNA REGIONAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS (T-RFMOS), 189,783 METRIC TONS OF BLUE SHARK WERE LEGALLY CAUGHT AND LANDED IN 2019, AMOUNTING TO OVER 7 MILLION BLUE SHARKS. LARGE-SCALE COMMERCIAL FLEETS, MAINLY LONG-LINERS, CATCH 90% OF BLUE SHARK CATCHES, AND DISTANT-WATER FISHING NATIONS CATCH 74% OF THE GLOBAL BLUE SHARK CATCH. UNLIKE THE SOUTHERN BLUEFIN TUNA WHICH HAS A FULL RFMO DEDICATED TO IT, THERE IS NO RFMO DEDICATED TO THE CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF ANY OCEANIC SHARK. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | CORPORATE PLASTICS CAMPAIGN OUR GLOBAL CAMPAIGN TO WIN COMMITMENTS FROM LEADING GLOBAL BRANDS TO REDUCE THEIR USE OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS SUPPORTS OUR NATIONAL POLICY OUTCOMES BY VALIDATING TO POLICY MAKERS THAT PLASTIC REDUCTION IS POLITICALLY "SAFE AND PRACTICALLY ACHIEVABLE. IT MAKES A FUNDAMENTAL CONTRIBUTION TO "CHANGING THE POPULAR NARRATIVE" FROM IMPROVING RECYCLING TO MANDATING REDUCTIONS A COMMUNICATIONS CHALLENGE DEEMED ESSENTIAL BY THE LEADERS OF THE BIG INTERNATIONAL BREAK FREE FROM PLASTICS COALITION, OF WHICH OCEANA IS PART. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, OCEANA IS FOCUSED ON TWO GLOBAL BRANDS WHOSE PROMINENCE GIVES THEM ENORMOUS LEVERAGE OVER THE GLOBAL CONVERSATION ABOUT SINGLE-USE PLASTICS: AMAZON AND COCA-COLA. THESE COMPANIES ARE PIVOTAL TO THE GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THEIR RESOURCES, GLOBAL STATURE AND INNOVATIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES GIVE THEM UN-MATCHED PRACTICAL AND STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES TO DELIVER MEASURABLE YEAR-OVER-YEAR REDUCTIONS IN THE VOLUME OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS THEY SELL TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. RECENT PROGRESS IN OUR GLOBAL PLASTIC CAMPAIGNS TARGETING CORPORATIONS TO OFFER PLASTIC-FREE ALTERNATIVES INCLUDES: OCEANA REACHED A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE IN OUR CAMPAIGN TO LIMIT AMAZON'S PLASTIC FOOTPRINT WHEN, AT THE MAY 2023 SHAREHOLDER MEETING, 48% OF SHAREHOLDERS (181,296,823 VOTES) SUPPORTED A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE COMPANY TO REPORT ON HOW MUCH PLASTIC IT USED, THE BENEFITS TO REDUCING ITS PLASTIC, AND THE POTENTIAL RISKS OF CONTINUING BUSINESS AS USUAL. THOUGH THIS MEASURE NARROWLY MISSED THE REQUIRED MAJORITY TO PASS, IT SENT A STRONG SIGNAL TO AMAZON LEADERSHIP AND IS A MAJOR STEP FORWARD IN OUR CAMPAIGN, AS THE RESOLUTION RECEIVED THE MOST VOTES OF ANY RESOLUTION FILED. IN LATE JANUARY 2022, OCEANA MET WITH AMAZON'S EXTERNAL RELATIONS DIRECTOR, SUSAN BEVERLY, AND SUSTAINABILITY COMMUNICATIONS LEAD, LUIS DAVILA. OCEANA HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF AMAZON'S SUSTAINABILITY TEAM SINCE THE LAUNCH OF THE CAMPAIGN IN 2020. ALTHOUGH DETAILS WERE NOT PROVIDED BY AMAZON, WE WERE TOLD THAT AMAZON WOULD BE MAKING MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS IN 2022 ON THEIR EFFORTS TO REDUCE PLASTIC PACKAGING WASTE, AND WE SUSPECT THESE WILL BE A WIDER ROLL-OUT OF THEIR PAPER-PADDED MAILER, TO REPLACE PLASTIC MAILERS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD AS WELL THAT THE COMPANY WILL ALSO REPLACE SINGLE-USE PACKAGING IN OTHER MAJOR EUROPEAN MARKETS (AS IT DID IN GERMANY). AMAZON ALSO INDICATED THAT OCEANA'S EFFORTS WERE HAVING AN IMPACT ON COMPANY DECISION-MAKERS. OCEANA HAS BEEN SHARING OUR REPORTS AND RELEASES WITH THE COMPANY BEFORE RELEASE. WINNING BEVERAGE COMPANY COMMITMENTS TO INCREASE REFILLABLE SHARE: OCEANA ACHIEVED A MAJOR VICTORY IN FEBRUARY 2022, WHEN COCA-COLA ANNOUNCED A NEW GOAL TO HAVE AT LEAST 25 PERCENT OF ALL BEVERAGES GLOBALLY ACROSS ITS PORTFOLIO OF BRANDS SOLD IN REFILLABLE GLASS OR PLASTIC BOTTLES, OR IN REFILLABLE CONTAINERS THROUGH A TRADITIONAL FOUNTAIN OR COCA-COLA FREESTYLE DISPENSERS, BY 2030. FOLLOWING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, OCEANA ATTENDED A MEETING WITH COCA-COLA'S VICE PRESIDENT OF GLOBAL POLICY AND SUSTAINABILITY, MICHAEL GOLTZMAN, AND SENIOR DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY, BEN JORDAN. DURING THIS MEETING, OCEANA LEARNED THAT THE NEW GLOBAL TARGET REPRESENTS VOLUME OF SALES. GIVEN THAT REUSABLE PACKAGING ACCOUNTED FOR ONLY 16% OF THE COMPANY'S TOTAL VOLUME IN 2020 (WITH OVER 14% OF THE SHARE COMING FROM REFILLABLE BOTTLES AND 2% FROM OTHER REFILLABLE CONTAINERS), THE COMPANY PROPOSED INCREASING ITS REFILLABLE MARKET SHARE BY NINE PERCENTAGE POINTS, GLOBALLY. IN 2020, OCEANA HAD RELEASED A REPORT THAT FOUND THAT IF THE VOLUME OF BEVERAGES SOLD IN REFILLABLE BOTTLES (IN PLACE OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BOTTLES) INCREASED BY JUST 10% IN COASTAL COUNTRIES, MARINE PLASTIC BOTTLE POLLUTION COULD DECREASE BY 22% AND BY AS MANY AS 7.6 BILLION BOTTLES A YEAR. GIVEN THAT COCA-COLA IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST SOFT-DRINK COMPANY, WITH A 20% SHARE OF ALL SOFT DRINKS SOLD WORLDWIDE, THIS VICTORY REPRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT STEP TOWARDS REAL CHANGE FOR THE OCEANS. SUBSEQUENT NOTABLE PROGRESS IN OUR CAMPAIGN INCLUDES: - ANDINATHE LARGEST BOTTLER IN CHILE AND ONE OF THE LARGEST IN ARGENTINA AND BRAZIL HAS PLEDGED TO REACH 42.8% REFILLABLES BY 2030 (UP FROM 31%). - COCA-COLA FEMSATHE LARGEST BOTTLER IN THE WORLD, BASED IN MEXICOHAS TOLD OCEANA IN MEETINGS THAT THEIR SHARE OF BEVERAGES SOLD IN REFILLABLE BOTTLES EXCEEDS 30% OF TOTAL SALES AND THEY HAVE INVESTED MORE THAN US $500 MILLION IN REFILLABLE CAPACITY ACROSS THEIR MARKETS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS ALONE. OCEANA IS PUSHING THE COMPANY TO SET A SPECIFIC GOAL FOR REFILLABLE BOTTLES (FOLLOWING THE LEAD OF ANDINA). |
