| Desc | INTERNATIONALBELIZEBAN GILLNETSTO COMPLEMENT THE 2020 BAN ON GILLNETS, OCEANA'S FISH RIGHT, EAT RIGHT PROGRAM COMPLETED A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH A RESTAURATEUR TO LEAD ON PROMOTING THE BENEFITS OF RESPONSIBLY SOURCED FINFISH 2021. PARTICIPATING FISHERS ARE USING OUR PILOT APP, DOCUMENTING CATCHES ON CAMERA AND TRACKING LOGISTICS OF SALES TO THAT RESTAURANT. THIS LEVEL OF TRACEABILITY FOR FISHERIES IS A NATIONAL MILESTONE.INCREASE TRANSPARENCYIN JUNE 2021, THE GOVERNMENT OF BELIZE SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH OCEANA AND GLOBAL FISHING WATCH (GFW) TO MAKE ITS VESSEL TRACKING DATA PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON THE GFW PLATFORM. THIS NEWEST ADDITION WILL ALLOW ANYONE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TO MONITOR BELIZE'S COMMERCIAL FISHING FLEET IN NEAR REAL-TIME. THIS VICTORY FOR TRANSPARENCY IS THE RESULT OF OCEANA'S COLLABORATION WITH THE GOVERNMENT TO ENHANCE ITS MONITORING CAPACITY OF BELIZEAN-FLAGGED FISHING VESSELS ON THE HIGH SEAS AND THE WATERS OF OTHER COUNTRIES. OCEANA STAFF HAVE BEEN WORKING IN BELIZE TO SECURE THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ILLEGAL FISHING AND TRANSPARENCY TEAM HAVE PROVIDED MULTIPLE OVERVIEWS AND TRAININGS TO THE GOVERNMENT ON THE GLOBAL FISHING WATCH PLATFORM AND HOW THE DATA CAN BE USED TO HELP WITH OVERSIGHT AND MANAGEMENT OF THE FLEET. LIKE MANY IN OTHER COASTAL COUNTRIES, BELIZE'S SMALL-SCALE FISHERS DEPEND ON TRANSPARENT, WELL REGULATED, HEALTHY OCEANS TO THRIVE. ADDING BELIZE'S VESSEL TRACKING DATA TO THE GFW PLATFORM WILL FURTHER BUILD ON THE PROGRESS BELIZE HAS ACHIEVED IN THE LAST DECADE TOWARDS PROTECTING ITS MARINE RESOURCES AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT RELY ON THEM.REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICSIN FEBRUARY 2021, BELIZE'S NEW PRIME MINISTER REITERATED HIS SUPPORT FOR SINGLE-USE PLASTICS LEGISLATION AND COMMITTED HIS ADMINISTRATION TO PHASING OUT OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS BY THE END OF 2021. DESPITE THIS WELCOME PLEDGE, THE STANDARDS FOR THE PRODUCTS THAT WILL REPLACE PROHIBITED PLASTIC ITEMS HAVE NOT BEEN PUBLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT. ADDITIONALLY, IMPORTATION FEES HAVE NOT BEEN ADJUSTED TO REDUCE THE COSTS OF ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTS, WHICH CURRENTLY ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SINGLE USE PLASTICS. IN SPITE OF THIS, WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK TO ELIMINATE PLASTIC POLLUTION ON THE LOCAL LEVEL, ENGAGING WITH LOCAL MAYORS AND MAJOR SUPERMARKETS TOWARDS THIS GOAL.BRAZILIMPLEMENTING CATCH LIMITS FOR COMMERCIAL FISHERIESON JUNE 28TH, PRESIDENT BOLSONARO ISSUED A DECREE CREATING A TOTAL OF 10 FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCILS FOR MARINE AND ESTUARINE FISHERIES, INCLUDING THE IMPORTANT LOBSTER AND THE RED SNAPPER COUNCILS. THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR OCEANA, SINCE THE FORUMS WHERE FISHING QUOTAS ARE DISCUSSED WERE FINALLY RESTORED. THE RESUMPTION OF THE COUNCILS IS IN RESPONSE TO THE FISHERIES SECRETARY, ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS OCEANA, AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THE FISHING SECTOR THAT CALLED FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS AND FORMAL PARTICIPATION FROM ALL STAKEHOLDERS ON DECISION-MAKING.IMPROVING FISHERIES MONITORINGIN APRIL, THE BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT SIGNED A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH GLOBAL FISHING WATCH (GFW) TO PUBLICLY RELEASE THE COUNTRY'S VESSEL MONITORING SYSTEM (VMS) DATA. THIS AGREEMENT IS A MAJOR STEP FORWARD FOR SUSTAINABLE AND TRANSPARENT FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN BRAZIL, AS IT BECAME JUST THE SEVENTH COUNTRY TO AGREE TO SHARE ITS VESSEL DATA ON A PUBLIC PLATFORM.THE OPEN TUNA INITIATIVE, A PARTNERSHIP WITH SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE TUNA INDUSTRY THAT IS FOCUSED ON MAKING TUNA FISHERIES AND THEIR SUPPLY CHAINS MORE TRANSPARENT, WAS A CRITICAL PRECURSOR TO THIS HISTORIC MOU.BY WORKING WITH PRIVATE BUSINESS LEADERS, BUILDING UP TRUST BETWEEN OUR GROUPS, AND HELPING THEM SEE THE VALUE OF FISHERIES TRANSPARENCY, OCEANA AND GFW ALSO HELPED CONVINCE THE GOVERNMENT THAT SUCH ACTIONS WOULD STRENGTHEN THE COUNTRY'S STANDING IN THE GLOBAL SEAFOOD SUPPLY CHAIN. THANKS TO THIS INITIATIVE, VMS DATA FROM 14 INDUSTRIAL TUNA LONGLINERS THAT COLLECTIVELY REPRESENT 60-70 PERCENT OF BRAZIL'S MARKET FOR FRESH BIGEYE TUNA (THAT IS EXPORTED TO THE US) IS NOW PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON GFW.ONCE THEY ARE PUBLISHED, THESE DATA ON APPROXIMATELY 2,000 INDUSTRIAL VESSELS WILL HELP INFORM FUTURE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT, CONTROL, AND SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES. IN THIS WAY, THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN GFW AND THE BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHES A FRAMEWORK FOR THE COLLABORATIVE EXCHANGE OF DATA AND IMPROVES BRAZIL'S TRANSPARENCY AND MONITORING CAPACITIES.LIMIT SINGLE-USE PLASTICSWE ARE ON TRACK TO SUBMIT A BILL TO CONGRESS REQUIRING GRADUAL ELIMINATION OF DISPOSABLE PLASTIC PRODUCTS, SUCH AS STYROFOAM CONTAINERS, UTENSILS, PLATES, AND CUPS. WE HAVE RECENTLY GOTTEN A COMMITMENT FROM A SENATOR TO CREATE A WORKING GROUP WITHIN THE ENVIRONMENTAL PARLIAMENTARY FRONT OF THE CONGRESS. THE WORKING GROUP WILL BE COMPOSED OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO DISCUSS THE SCOPE AND SPECIFIC COMPONENTS OF A BILL TO BAN SINGLE-USE PLASTICS. ONCE THE BILL IS DRAFTED AND DISCUSSED, IT WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE SENATE.THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC DRAMATICALLY INCREASED FOOD DELIVERY DEMAND IN BRAZIL. THE BRAZILIAN COMPANY IFOOD HOLDS 70% OF THE MARKET SHARE AND REACHED 60 MILLION DELIVERY ORDERS PER MONTH EARLIER THIS YEAR. OCEANA AND OUR PARTNERS AT THE CLEAN SEAS CAMPAIGN OF THE UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM (UNEP) HAVE BEEN HOLDING REGULAR CONVERSATIONS WITH IFOOD SINCE MAY. AFTER MONTHS OF INTENSE NEGOTIATIONS, SOCIAL MEDIA MOBILIZATION, AN ONLINE PETITION AND CELEBRITIES' SUPPORT TO OUR CAMPAIGN, IFOOD SIGNED A PUBLIC COMMITMENT IN AUGUST 2021 TO REDUCE ITS USE OF DISPOSABLE PLASTIC BY 2025. WITH OUR GUIDANCE, IFOOD HAS NOW ESTABLISHED A SPECIFIC WORKPLAN AND TIMELINE FOR SUCH PLASTIC REDUCTION, WHICH WILL REDUCE THE DISTRIBUTION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS BY 1.5 BILLION ITEMS PER YEAR. IN LATIN AMERICA, BRAZIL ACCOUNTS FOR 50% OF ALL FOOD DELIVERIES, REPRESENTING 1.2 BILLION ORDERS A YEAR. ACCORDING TO A SURVEY BY THE STARTUP MOBILLS LABS, SPENDING ON FOOD APPLICATIONS GREW 103% IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2020. THANKS TO ONLINE ORDERING, TAKEAWAY AND DELIVERED FOOD SALES SECURED INCOME FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM RESTAURANTS AMIDST THE ECONOMIC CRISIS THAT FOLLOWED THE LOCKDOWN. IT IS EXPECTED THAT AS THE PANDEMIC CONTINUES, MORE RESTAURANTS WILL JOIN FOOD-DELIVERY APPLICATIONS OR COMPLETELY MOVE THEIR OPERATIONS TO ONLINE SALES. THE INCREASE IN DELIVERY ORDERS HAS ALSO INCREASED THE USE OF DISPOSABLE PLASTICS ITEMS. BRAZIL PRODUCES 3 MILLION TONS OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC EVERY YEAR, OF WHICH 13% ARE THROW-AWAY PRODUCTS SUCH AS PLATES, CUPS, CUTLERY, PLASTIC BAGS, AND STRAWS. THIS IS EQUIVALENT TO PRODUCING 200 BILLION THROW-AWAY PLASTIC ITEMS PER YEAR. MOST OF THESE ITEMS ARE NOT RECYCLABLE AS THEY ARE WORTHLESS TO THE RECYCLING CHAIN, SO THEY QUICKLY BECOME WASTE AND POLLUTION. WITH IFOOD COMMITTING TO LOWER THEIR PLASTIC FOOTPRINT, WE EXPECT OTHER APPS, SUCH AS UBEREATS AND RAPPI, TO DO THE SAME. | 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 FISHINGTHROUGHOUT 2021, OCEANA CONTINUED TO LEAD EFFORTS TO CHAMPION THE MAGNUSON-STEVENS FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT (MSA) TO ENSURE THAT IT IS NOT WEAKENED IN CONGRESS. THE MSA COALITION OF NGOS AND CONSERVATION-MINDED FISHING INTERESTS, IN WHICH OCEANA SERVES ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE, HAS HELPED EDUCATE AND INFORM MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN PURSUING FISHERIES LEGISLATION. IN JULY 2021 LEGISLATION WAS INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO REAUTHORIZE THE MSA. TO BUILD FURTHER SUPPORT FOR THE MSA, OCEANA CONTINUED ONE OF OUR KEY VEHICLES FOR ENGAGING AND EXPANDING GRASSROOTS CONSTITUENCIES ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MSA OUR #KEEPOCEANSFISHY EVENTS. THESE EVENTS HAVE BEEN HELD VIRTUALLY SINCE THE ONSET OF THE PANDEMIC AND EMANATE FROM COASTAL AREAS ALONG BOTH COASTS. THEY ARE AIMED AT ILLUSTRATING THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPONSIBLE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND WHY HEALTHY FISHERIES AND OCEANS ARE IMPORTANT FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES. ON JUNE 22, OCEANA ALSO PARTNERED WITH WHALE & DOLPHIN CONSERVANCY FOR THE VIRTUAL ORCA WATCH IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. DISCUSSION FOCUSED ON ORCA AND SALMON CONSERVATION EFFORTS AND THE ROLE OF THE MSA IN MANAGING IMPORTANT FISH STOCKS LIKE SALMON. GUESTS INCLUDED LOCAL PARTNERS, INCLUDING FRIENDS OF LIME KILN STATE PARK, ORCASOUND, BE WHALE WISE AND MAYA'S LEGACY WHALE WATCH. NEARLY 1,000 REGISTERED FOR THE EVENT, WITH 472 VIEWING THE LIVE WEBINAR. IN ADDITION, MORE THAN 400 VIEWED THE FACEBOOK RECORDING OF THE EVENT.STOP EXPANDED OFFSHORE DRILLINGOCEANA AND OUR ALLIES WERE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE FORMER ADMINISTRATION TO DELAY AND ULTIMATELY NOT FINALIZE ITS PROPOSED REVISED FIVE-YEAR OIL AND GAS LEASING PLAN (FOR 2019-2024) THAT WOULD HAVE EXPANDED LEASE SALES FOR OFFSHORE DRILLING IN 94 PERCENT OF U.S. WATERS IN THE ATLANTIC, PACIFIC AND ARCTIC OCEANS. THOUGH THE CURRENT FIVE-YEAR PLAN (FOR 2017-2022) REMAINS IN PLACE, PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ON JANUARY 27, 2021, PAUSING NEW LEASING ON FEDERAL LANDS AND WATERS. THE ADMINISTRATION IS CONDUCTING A REVIEW OF THE FEDERAL OIL AND GAS LEASING PROGRAM THAT WILL INFORM ITS NEXT STEPS, AND WHICH WE EXPECT MAY INCLUDE ISSUANCE OF A NEW FIVE-YEAR OIL AND GAS LEASING PLAN.REDUCE ILLEGAL FISHINGOCEANA IS CAMPAIGNING TO IMPROVE THE U.S. DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS AND POLICIES TO ADDRESS ILLEGAL FISHING, TRANSPARENCY AND TRACEABILITY. THANKS IN LARGE PART TO OCEANA'S ADVOCACY, IN MAY 2021 THE ILLEGAL FISHING AND FORCED LABOR PROTECTION ACT WAS INTRODUCED IN THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THE BILL CALLS FOR:- EXPANDING AND IMPROVING THE SEAFOOD IMPORT MONITORING PROGRAM (SIMP) TO ALL IMPORTED SEAFOOD SPECIES;- REQUIRING FULL BOAT-TO-PLATE TRACEABILITY FOR ALL SEAFOOD;- EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF U.S. VESSELS REQUIRED TO BROADCAST AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS) DATA; AND- ADOPTING A NATION-BASED SANCTION SYSTEM SIMILAR TO THE EUROPEAN UNION CARDING APPROACH TO BETTER PREVENT PRODUCTS SOURCED BY IUU FISHING FROM ENTERING THE US MARKET.ALSO IN MAY, AN AMENDMENT WAS ADDED TO THE ENDLESS FRONTIERS/US INNOVATION AND COMPETITION ACT THAT WOULD HELP ADDRESS IUU FISHING AND FORCED LABOR. THE AMENDMENT DIRECTS CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION TO DEVELOP REGULATIONS FOR DEALING WITH FORCED LABOR IN THE SEAFOOD SUPPLY CHAIN, A HIGH-RISK INDUSTRY FOR FORCED LABOR. THIS PROVISION ALSO REQUIRES CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY FOR USING DATA COLLECTED THROUGH SIMP IN THEIR EFFORTS. PROTECT HABITATTHE LAST FEDERAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT AREA IN THE NORTH PACIFIC WHERE THE BOTTOM TRAWLING FOOTPRINT HAS NOT YET BEEN "FROZEN" IS IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC OCEAN, WHICH INCLUDES THE NORTH BERING SEA, THE GULF OF ALASKA, AND THE CALIFORNIA CURRENT LARGE MARINE ECOSYSTEM, IS ONE OF THE MOST PRODUCTIVE STRETCHES OF MARINE HABITAT IN THE WORLD. ITS NUTRIENT-RICH WATERS FOSTER UNIQUE AND ABUNDANT BIODIVERSITY, FROM DEEP-SEA CORALS AND GLASS SPONGES TO THE CRITICALLY ENDANGERED NORTHERN RIGHT WHALE. THE GULF OF ALASKA IS ALSO HOME TO SOME OF THE LARGEST AND MOST LUCRATIVE FISHERIES IN THE WORLD. IT IS A MAJOR SEAFOOD PRODUCER DUE TO ITS DIVERSE AND RICH HABITAT. THE KELP FORESTS, DEEP-SEA CORAL BEDS, UNDERWATER GULLIES, REEFS AND CANYONS ARE HOME TO KING CRAB, PACIFIC HALIBUT, SABLEFISH, PACIFIC COD, ALL FIVE SPECIES OF PACIFIC SALMON, POLLOCK, ROCKFISH, SHARKS, SCALLOPS AND OCTOPUS. AROUND 600 MILLION POUNDS OF FISH ARE REMOVED ANNUALLY BY THE FEDERAL GROUNDFISH FISHERIES IN THE GULF OF ALASKA, A THIRD OF WHICH IS CAUGHT BY BOTTOM TRAWLING. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, BOTTOM TRAWLING IS THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE FORM OF FISHING ON SENSITIVE SEAFLOOR HABITAT. IT IS THE UNDERWATER EQUIVALENT OF CLEARCUTTING TERRESTRIAL FORESTS VESSELS DRAG HEAVY NETS ACROSS THE SEAFLOOR, INDISCRIMINATELY CATCHING ANY WILDLIFE THAT GETS IN THE PATH OF THEIR NETS WHILE DESTROYING THE SURROUNDING HABITAT IN THE PROCESS. THE GULF OF ALASKA IS ALSO UNDERGOING MAJOR ECOLOGICAL CHANGE AS UNPRECEDENTED MARINE HEAT WAVES, LIKELY A RESULT OF CLIMATE CHANGE, HAVE CAUSED FISHERIES TO COLLAPSE AND MARINE MAMMALS AND SEABIRDS TO DIE BY THE THOUSANDS. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THOSE FISHERIES ARE MANAGED IN A WAY THAT PROTECTS HABITAT NECESSARY FOR MARINE LIFE TO GROW AND THRIVE.OCEANA PROPOSES TO FREEZE THE FOOTPRINT OF BOTTOM TRAWLING AND IDENTIFY SENSITIVE HABITAT AREAS THAT CAN BE CLOSED TO TRAWLING WHILE MINIMIZING ECONOMIC IMPACT, AND WE ARE ON TRACK TO HAVE OUR HABITAT PROTECTION PROPOSAL CONSIDERED BY THE NORTH PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL IN 2022. WE HAVE CONDUCTED THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, MAPPING, AND ANALYSIS NECESSARY TO DETERMINE WHERE TO FREEZE THE FOOTPRINT OF BOTTOM TRAWLING IN THE GULF OF ALASKA AS WELL AS WHICH SPECIFIC SENSITIVE HABITAT AREAS WITHIN THE CURRENT TRAWL FOOTPRINT TO DESIGNATE FOR PROTECTION. WE NOW PLAN TO SHARE OUR PROPOSAL WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO GET THEIR FEEDBACK. OVER THE PAST YEAR WE HAVE MOVED THIS PROJECT FORWARD BY:- UPDATING THE TRAWL FOOTPRINT IN THE GULF OF ALASKA TO A MUCH FINER SCALE USING NEW DATA FROM GLOBAL FISHING WATCH AS WELL AS NEW DATASETS FROM THE STATE OF ALASKA. BASED ON THIS NEW DATA WE EXPANDED THE RECOMMENDED AREA TO BE PROTECTED. - TESTIFYING AND SUBMITTING COMMENT LETTERS TO THE NPFMC, AND MEETING WITH INFLUENTIAL STAKEHOLDERS AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO OUTLINE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE BELIEVE SHOULD BE PART OF THE ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT REVIEW PROCESS. - IDENTIFYING OTHER INTERESTED STAKEHOLDERS TO JOIN OUR EFFORTS, INCLUDING THE NEWLY FORMED ALASKA FISHING COMMUNITIES COALITION OF COMMUNITIES, ANGLERS, TRIBAL MEMBERS AND OTHERS WHO SUPPORT FREEZING THE TRAWL FOOTPRINT IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. - CONTINUING TO EXAMINE AND RESEARCH BROADER ARGUMENTS FOR PROTECTING GULF OF ALASKA SEAFLOOR, SUCH AS NEW SCIENCE TO JUSTIFY BOTTOM TRAWL CLOSURES IN ORDER TO MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS. | Desc |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION'S MISSION: | OCEANA WAS FOUNDED IN 2001 BY AN INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF FOUNDATIONS. DESPITE REPEATED SCIENTIFIC REPORTS OF WIDESPREAD FISHERY COLLAPSE CAUSED BY OVERFISHING, THE FOUNDERS DISCOVERED THAT LEADING ENVIRONMENTAL FOUNDATIONS SPENT LESS THAN HALF OF ONE PERCENT OF THEIR RESOURCES ON OCEAN CONSERVATION. HEALTHY OCEANS CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO FEEDING A GROWING WORLD POPULATION AND TO MITIGATING THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, YET NO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION WAS WORKING EXCLUSIVELY TO PROTECT AND RESTORE ABUNDANT OCEAN FISHERIES. OCEANA'S FOUNDERS ENVISIONED AN ORGANIZATION DEDICATED SOLELY TO ACHIEVING SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN OCEAN MANAGEMENT POLICIES THROUGH A SCIENCE-BASED APPROACH, USING CAREFULLY CHOSEN NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS WITH FIXED DEADLINES AND MEASURABLE GOALS. 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 NEARLY 200 SIGNIFICANT POLICY VICTORIES AND PROTECTED MORE THAN 10 MILLION SQUARE KILOMETERS 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 ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WORLD'S WILD OCEAN FISHERIES (BY CATCH): THE UNITED STATES, THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU), THE UNITED KINGDOM, BELIZE, BRAZIL, CANADA, CHILE, MEXICO, PERU AND THE PHILIPPINES. OCEANA'S CAMPAIGNS CARRY OUT FOUR KEY STRATEGIES: - STOP OVERFISHING THROUGH SCIENCE-BASED FISHERY MANAGEMENT, AND BY DETERRING ILLEGAL FISHING; - PROTECT HABITAT AND THE ECOSYSTEMS THAT DEPEND ON THEIR HEALTH, - EXPAND TRANSPARENCY OF FISHING ACTIVITY AND GOVERNMENT DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES, AND - LIMIT POLLUTION, BY STOPPING THE EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING AND REDUCING THE PRODUCTION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS. 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 | OCEANA CANADA IN 2021, 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 FISHERIES THE DELAYED REBUILDING PLANS FOR THE DEPLETED FISHERIES OF ATLANTIC MACKEREL AND NORTHERN COD WERE RELEASED AT THE VERY END OF 2020 AND FAILED TO MEET ACCEPTABLE REBUILDING PLAN STANDARDS. THROUGHOUT 2021 WE HAVE PUSHED TO INCREASE BOTH THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF PLANS COMPLETED THIS YEAR THROUGH OUR TECHNICAL CONTRIBUTIONS AT FISHERY ADVISORY MEETINGS, THROUGH CONTINUED MEDIA ATTENTION, AND THROUGH HIGH-LEVEL ADVOCACY. WE ADVOCATED FOR AND ACHIEVED A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY WITH THE PUBLICATION OF A GOVERNMENT WEBPAGE WITH DFO'S ANNUAL WORK PLANS AND ANNUAL REPORTS ON DELIVERABLES ACHIEVED. LIMIT SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IN MAY 2021, THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALLY LISTED PLASTIC-MANUFACTURED ITEMS UNDER THE CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT'S (CEPA) SCHEDULE 1, THE LAW'S LIST OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES. THIS LISTING IS A CRITICAL STEP TOWARDS ADDRESSING CANADA'S PLASTIC POLLUTION CRISIS, AS THIS NOW GIVES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY TO REGULATE PLASTIC PRODUCTS AND KEEP THEM OUT OF INCINERATORS, LANDFILLS, AND THE ENVIRONMENT. IN LATE 2020, THE GOVERNMENT ISSUED PROPOSED RULES TO BAN SIX SINGLE-USE PLASTIC ITEMS (BAGS, STIRS, STICKS, SIX-PACK RINGS, CUTLERY, STRAWS AND FOOD SERVICE WARE) BY THE END OF 2021 AS PART OF A LARGER GOVERNMENT INITIATIVE TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF ZERO PLASTIC WASTE BY 2030. LISTING PLASTIC-MANUFACTURED ITEMS UNDER CEPA'S SCHEDULE 1 MOVES THE COUNTRY ONE STEP CLOSER TO ACHIEVING THIS GOAL. OCEANA CANADA APPLAUDED THIS DECISION BY THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT, BUT WE ARE ALSO WORKING WITH THE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE TO EXPAND THE BAN LIST BEYOND THE SIX ITEMS. OCEANA POLLING DATA SUGGESTED THAT 95 PERCENT OF CANADIANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT PLASTIC POLLUTION HAS ON OUR OCEANS AND 86 PERCENT SUPPORT A BAN ON SINGLE-USE PLASTICS. A COALITION REPRESENTING CANADA'S LARGEST VIRGIN PLASTIC PRODUCERS CHALLENGED THIS DECISION IN FEDERAL COURT AFTER THE AFOREMENTIONED LISTING, AND THIS IS WHERE THE CAMPAIGN STOOD AT THE END OF 2021. CHILE HABITAT PROTECTION LA HIGUERA: OUR CAMPAIGN TO ACHIEVE THE DESIGNATION OF AN MPA IN LA HIGUERA SUFFERED A SETBACK IN APRIL 2021, WHEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL COURT OF CHILE RULED IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED DOMINGA MINING AND PORT PROJECT (SLATED TO BE DEVELOPED IN LA HIGUERA). WE APPEALED THIS DECISION BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT, WHICH PREVIOUSLY RULED IN OUR FAVOR. WE HAVE INTENSIVELY PUBLICIZED OUR POSITION ON THE ISSUE WE HAD OVER 25 TV INTERVIEWS AND 35 RADIO APPEARANCES, AND RAPIDLY ACTIVATED OUR SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH. #NOADOMINGA (SAY NO TO DOMINGA) BECAME THE TRENDING TOPIC IN CHILE FOR 3 DAYS WITH OVER 400K TWEETS, AND WE REACHED OVER 2 MILLION INTERACTIONS ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM. KATALALIXAR: OUR CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT A PRISTINE AREA OF PATAGONIA ADVANCED WHEN CHILE'S PROTECTED AREA SERVICE (CONAF) FORMALLY REQUESTED THAT THE REGIONAL AUTHORITIES BEGIN THE PROCESS OF DESIGNATING KATALALIXAR AS AN MPA. BECAUSE OF COVID-19 AND THE REMOTENESS AND ISOLATION OF KATALALIXAR, HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MEET WITH THE KAWSQAR, THE LOCAL INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY, TO PRESENT OUR FINAL PROPOSAL AND RECEIVE THEIR APPROVAL. THEREFORE, THE DEADLINE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN MOVED TO 2022. END OVERFISHING AND REBUILD STOCKS ANCHOVIES: OUR CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT ANCHOVIES WAS BOOSTED BY A SUPREME COURT DECISION THAT ENFORCES A BAN ON INDUSTRIAL FISHING FROM THE FIVE-MILE COASTAL ZONE IN TWO REGIONS IN NORTHERN CHILE, INCLUDING IN THE TARAPAC REGION WHERE PISAGUA IS LOCATED. SUCH A BAN ON INDUSTRIAL FISHING IN THESE AREAS OF PISAGUA WILL BE CONFIRMED AND MADE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO UNDO BY THE MPA THAT WE ARE SEEKING TO PROTECT ANCHOVY HABITAT IN PISAGUA. HAVING WON THE SUPPORT OF FISHERS FOR OUR PROPOSED MPA IN DECEMBER 2020, AND HAVING SUBMITTED OUR FORMAL PROPOSAL, WE ARE NOW CAMPAIGNING FOR THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT TO APPROVE THE PROPOSAL. BROWN KELP: CHILE'S CONGRESS IS CURRENTLY DISCUSSING A BILL TO REGULATE KELP EXTRACTION AND WE ARE SUPPORTING ITS IMPROVEMENT. WE ARE WORKING ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE APPROPRIATE PROPOSAL FOR ITS REGULATION, WHICH TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE EXPERIENCE OF KELP FISHERS. IN THE MEANTIME, THE NATIONAL SERVICE OF FISHERIES DEVISED AN EXTRACTION PLAN FOR KELP THAT INCLUDES IDENTIFYING AND REGISTERING KELP CHIPPING FACILITIES, MEETING A MILESTONE IN OUR CAMPAIGN. SARDINES: WE RELEASED A REPORT ON GAPS IN THE CONTROL OF THE LANDING AND PROCESSING OF SARDINES FOR FISHMEAL AND FISH OIL IN THE BIO BIO REGION, THE AREA IN CHILE WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THESE FISH ARE PROCESSED AND CAUGHT. THE REPORT PROVIDES THE DATA WE NEED TO PUSH FOR BETTER REGULATION OF THE PRODUCTION CHAIN FOR THE FISHERY. WE HAVE MET WITH THE NATIONAL SERVICE OF FISHERIES TO PRIORITIZE THE GAPS WE UNCOVERED SO THAT WE CAN START WORKING ON THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES. WE ARE ALSO EXPLORING OPTIONS FOR AN UPCOMING EXPEDITION TO A SUBMARINE CANYON IN HUALPEN, IN THE BIO BIO REGION IN LATE FALL OR EARLY WINTER. THE PURPOSE OF THE EXPEDITION IS TO GATHER BIOLOGICAL DATA TO PROTECT THIS AREA THROUGH AN MPA, WHICH WOULD SAFEGUARD AN IMPORTANT HABITAT FOR SARDINES. REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IN MAY 2021, CHILE SIGNED INTO LAW ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST AMBITIOUS PROPOSALS TO COMBAT SINGLE-USE PLASTIC POLLUTION. THIS HISTORIC ACTION COMES AFTER TWO YEARS OF ADVOCACY AND CAMPAIGNING BY OCEANA AND OUR PARTNERS IN CHILE AND POSITIONS THE COUNTRY AS ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST PLASTIC POLLUTION. THE NEW LAW INCLUDES SEVERAL KEY PROVISIONS TO COMPREHENSIVELY LIMIT SINGLE-USE PLASTIC PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, AND USAGE NATIONALLY: - WITHIN SIX MONTHS, ALL EATING ESTABLISHMENTS SUCH AS RESTAURANTS, COFFEE SHOPS, AND BARS WILL BE PROHIBITED FROM PROVIDING PLASTIC CUTLERY, DRINKING STRAWS, STIRRERS, AND CHOPSTICKS. - AFTER THREE YEARS, IT WILL BE MANDATORY FOR EATING ESTABLISHMENTS TO UTILIZE REUSABLE PRODUCTS WHEN CONSUMPTION OCCURS INSIDE THESE ESTABLISHMENTS. FOR OUTSIDE CONSUMPTION, EATING ESTABLISHMENTS WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE DISPOSABLE PRODUCTS MADE OF MATERIALS OTHER THAN PLASTIC OR MADE OF CERTIFIED PLASTIC. - WITHIN SIX MONTHS ALL SUPERMARKETS MUST SELL AND RECEIVE RETURNABLE BOTTLES IN THEIR IN-PERSON AND ONLINE SALES. THIS OBLIGATION WILL INCLUDE CONVENIENCE STORES AFTER TWO YEARS. AFTER THREE YEARS, THE PERCENTAGE OF RETURNABLE BOTTLES ON DISPLAY FOR SALE CANNOT BE LESS THAN 30 PERCENT. DISPOSABLE BOTTLES WILL BE ALLOWED ONLY IF THEY CONTAIN RECYCLED MATERIAL COLLECTED IN THE COUNTRY AND IN PERCENTAGES THAT WILL INCREASE OVER TIME. THE NEW LAW WILL TRANSITION SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS TO MORE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT PACKAGING WHILE PREVENTING AN ESTIMATED 23,000 TONS OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC POLLUTION GENERATED EACH YEAR BY THESE BUSINESSES. THIS IS EQUIVALENT TO THE WEIGHT OF 116 BLUE WHALES, WHICH IS ABOUT EQUIVALENT TO THE CARBON FOOTPRINT AS A PERSON DRIVING A CAR AROUND EARTH 5,300 TIMES. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | EUROPE ILLEGAL FISHING IN MARCH 2021, THE PLENARY OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT (EP) VOTED TO REQUIRE VMS FOR ALL EU FISHING VESSELS; REMOVE A MEMBER STATE VETO ON INFORMATION SHARING THAT WAS IN BREACH OF EU TRANSPARENCY LAWS; AND REQUIRE MEMBER STATES TO PUBLISH INFORMATION ANNUALLY ON THE NUMBER AND TYPE OF INSPECTIONS PERFORMED, INFRINGEMENTS FOUND, AND THEIR FOLLOW UP. THE EP ALSO VOTED TO REQUIRE ALL EU FISHING VESSELS TO REPORT CATCHES ELECTRONICALLY, AND CLARIFIED THAT BENEFITTING FROM OR SUPPORTING IUU FISHING, INCLUDING THROUGH THE PROVISION OF SERVICES, IS AN OFFENSE UNDER THE CONTROL REGULATION. THIS LANDMARK ACHIEVEMENT WAS THE DIRECT RESULT OF OCEANA'S SUCCESS IN FEBRUARY, WHEN THE FISHERIES COMMITTEE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THOSE SAME MEASURES. THE HIGH LEVEL OF SUPPORT FOR THESE AMBITIOUS PROPOSALS WITHIN PECH, ONE OF THE MOST CONSERVATIVE COMMITTEES OF THE EP, WAS CRITICAL FOR ENSURING VICTORY IN THE PLENARY VOTE. WE ACHIEVED KEY MILESTONES TOWARD OUR GOAL TO GET THE GENERAL FISHERIES COMMISSION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN (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. IN MAY, THE EU OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THAT IT PLANS TO PROPOSE A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION TO STRENGTHEN THE AUTHORIZED VESSEL LIST (AVL) FOR ADOPTION AT THE GFCM ANNUAL MEETING. TO STRENGTHEN OUR ARGUMENT ON THE NEED TO UPDATE THE AVL, OCEANA PUBLISHED AND PRESENTED A REPORT TO THE GFCM IN WHICH WE EXPOSED TWO ITALIAN VESSELS THAT APPARENTLY TRAWLED ILLEGALLY IN A PROTECTED AREA. IN JUNE, THE EU MADE A PROPOSAL IN RESPONSE TO ADVOCACY FROM OCEANA TO STRENGTHEN MEASURES AGAINST NATIONALS INVOLVED IN IUU FISHING. MEMBERS OF ICCAT EXPRESSED THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSAL. A LEADING GLOBAL BUSINESS INFORMATION PROVIDER TO THE MARITIME SECTOR AGREED TO INCLUDE OFFICIALLY REPORTED INFORMATION ON IUU FISHING ACTIVITY IN THEIR EXTENSIVE DATABASES OF VESSEL INFORMATION. THE PROVIDER WILL INCLUDE INFORMATION ON FISHING AND SHIPPING COMPANIES AS WELL AS OTHER SECTORS, INCLUDING BUSINESSES, THAT PROVIDE THESE COMPANIES WITH SERVICES. THESE PLATFORMS ARE SUBSCRIBED TO BY OVER 27,000 USERS, INCLUDING MARINE EQUIPMENT AND INSURANCE COMPANIES; SHIP OWNERS, BROKERS, BUILDERS AND MANAGERS; AND PORT SERVICES AND SECURITY, FOR A MULTITUDE OF PURPOSES, INCLUDING ASSESSING AND MINIMIZING RISK EXPOSURE. THESE BUSINESSES WILL NOW BE ABLE TO EASILY CHECK WHETHER QUERIED VESSELS HAVE BEEN FORMALLY IDENTIFIED BY GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES FOR THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN IUU FISHING AN ACTIVITY THAT IS DEVASTATINGLY HARMFUL TO THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT AND IS OFTEN LINKED TO OTHER MARITIME CRIMES. TO ACHIEVE WIDER ADOPTION BY SERVICE PROVIDERS OF ACTIONS THAT EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS IUU FISHING, OCEANA JOINED TWO MAJOR FINANCIAL SECTOR INITIATIVES FOCUSED ON PROMOTING MARINE SUSTAINABILITY IN BUSINESS: THE UN SUSTAINABLE BLUE ECONOMY FINANCE INITIATIVE AND THE OCEAN RISK AND RESILIENCE ACTION ALLIANCE (ORRAA). FISH RECOVERY AND SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT IN JANUARY, OCEANA PUBLICLY RELEASED ITS UK FISHERIES AUDIT, COINCIDING WITH THE START OF EU-UK NEGOTIATIONS ON 2021 CATCH LIMITS. THE AUDIT WHICH AIMED TO LINK ITS FINDINGS TO THE NEED FOR STRONG SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENTS IN THE UK'S FISHERIES STATEMENTS PAINTED A DISTURBING PICTURE OF THE STATE OF UK FISH STOCKS. IT SHOWED THAT ONLY 36% OF THE 104 AUDITED STOCKS WERE KNOWN TO BE HEALTHY IN TERMS OF STOCK SIZE AND ONLY 38% SUSTAINABLY EXPLOITED. OF THE TOP 10 MOST ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT FISH STOCKS FOR THE UK, SIX ARE OVERFISHED OR HAVE A STOCK BIOMASS AT A CRITICAL LEVEL. THE SIX ARE: NORTH SEA COD, NORTH SEA HERRING, SOUTHERN NORTH SEA CRAB, EASTERN ENGLISH CHANNEL SCALLOPS, NORTH EAST ATLANTIC BLUE WHITING AND NORTH SEA WHITING. FURTHER, THERE IS INSUFFICIENT DATA TO DEFINE REFERENCE POINTS FOR NORTH SEA ANGLERFISH. THEREFORE, ONLY THREE OF THE TOP 10 STOCKS UPON WHICH THE UK FISHING INDUSTRY RELIES ARE BOTH HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLY EXPLOITED: NORTH EAST ATLANTIC MACKEREL, NORTH SEA HADDOCK AND WEST OF SCOTLAND NEPHROPS. THIS IS DUE TO CATCH LIMITS HAVING BEEN SET AT OR BELOW THE RECOMMENDED SUSTAINABLE LIMITS FOR PRECEDING YEARS, DEMONSTRATING THE POSITIVE IMPACT TO BE GAINED BY FOLLOWING SCIENTIFIC ADVICE. OCEANA DELIVERED THE REPORT TO KEY UK AND EU DECISION-MAKERS, NGOS, AND INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES, AND CALLED ON THE UK GOVERNMENT TO STOP OVERFISHING AND LEAD THE WAY IN SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES BY SETTING CATCH LIMITS IN LINE WITH SCIENCE. THE AUDIT RECEIVED EXTENSIVE COVERAGE IN KEY UK MEDIA. WE ACHIEVED PROGRESS TOWARD OUR MULTI-YEAR GOAL TO ENSURE THAT, POST-BREXIT, ALL COMMERCIAL STOCKS, INCLUDING SHARED STOCKS, AROUND THE UK ARE FISHED AT SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT LEVELS BY 2023. IN JUNE, THE EU AND THE UK REACHED, FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER BREXIT, AN AGREEMENT ON TOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCHES (TACS) FOR SHARED STOCKS FOR 2021. DUE TO THE DELAY IN THE ADOPTION OF THE EU-UK TRADE AND COOPERATION AGREEMENT, NEGOTIATIONS ON 2021 CATCH LIMITS FOR SHARED STOCKS ONLY BEGAN IN JANUARY. QUOTAS WERE SET FOR OVER 75 COMMERCIAL FISH STOCKS AND PROVISIONS WERE ADOPTED FOR THE EXPLOITATION OF NON-QUOTA STOCKS IN 2021. THIS WAS THE FIRST ANNUAL NEGOTIATION ON FISHING LIMITS UNDER THE EU-UK TRADE AND COOPERATION AGREEMENT. WHILE OCEANA WELCOMES THE WILLINGNESS OF BOTH PARTIES TO COOPERATE, WE CONSIDER THAT SOME OF THE ADOPTED MEASURES FALL SHORT OF ENSURING THE SUSTAINABLE EXPLOITATION OF COMMON FISH STOCKS. HABITAT CAMPAIGN THIS YEAR, OCEANA FOCUSED ON ENSURING THAT THE EU ACTION PLAN ON FISHERIES RESOURCES AND MARINE ECOSYSTEMS CONTAINS PROVISIONS TO PROHIBIT BOTTOM-TRAWLING IN EU MPAS. THE RELEASE OF THE ACTION PLAN UNFORTUNATELY WAS DELAYED TO 2022, TO ALLOW THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION MORE TIME FOR STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION. DESPITE THIS DELAY, WE SECURED AN INITIAL VICTORY IN JUNE 2021 IN THE PLENARY OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, WHICH CALLED FOR THE PROHIBITION OF DESTRUCTIVE ACTIVITIES INSIDE MPAS AS PART OF ITS POSITION ON THE BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY. AHEAD OF THIS VOTE, OCEANA LAUNCHED A PETITION TO BAN BOTTOM-TRAWLING IN ALL EU MPAS, WHICH GATHERED 150,000 SIGNATURES AND GENERATED INTENSE SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVITY IN SUPPORT OF OUR CAMPAIGN. OCEANA ACHIEVED TWO KEY MILESTONES THIS YEAR TOWARD OUR GOAL TO ENSURE THAT 10 PERCENT OF UK SEAS ARE FULLY PROTECTED FROM BOTTOM-TOWED FISHING GEAR BY 2023 (WITH A LONG-TERM GOAL OF 30 PERCENT BY 2030). FOLLOWING THE POST-BREXIT LICENSING BY THE UK GOVERNMENT OF OVER 2,000 UK AND EU VESSELS TO FISH IN BRITISH MPAS, OCEANA CONTESTED THIS GOVERNMENTAL ACTION. AS A RESULT, THE UK GOVERNMENT COMMITTED TO ADOPT FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR ALL ITS OFFSHORE MPAS WITHIN THREE YEARS. THE UK GOVERNMENT IS NOW EXPECTED TO CONSULT BROADLY AND TO DEVELOP NEW BY-LAWS REGULATING TRAWLING IN MPAS. THEN IN JUNE, THE UK GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED ITS PLAN TO INCREASE PROTECTION OF ENGLISH WATERS THROUGH PILOT PROJECTS TO DESIGNATE HIGHLY PROTECTED MARINE AREAS (HPMAS) IN 2022. A SHORTLIST OF PROPOSED SITES IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, WITH PUBLIC CONSULTATION TO FOLLOW IN 2022. HPMAS WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PROTECTION, EQUIVALENT TO NO-TAKE ZONES. OCEANA WELCOMED THE START OF THIS PROCESS, BUT WE STRESSED IN THE MEDIA THAT HPMAS SHOULD NOT DISTRACT FROM THE NEED TO BAN BOTTOM TRAWLING IN ALL UK MPAS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | MEXICO TRANSPARENCY AND TRACEABILITY OCEANA PERSUADED THE MEXICAN NATIONAL FISHERIES AUTHORITY TO RELEASE THE MEXICAN VMS DATA TO THE GOVERNMENT'S PUBLIC WEBSITE ON A MONTHLY BASIS. IN ADDITION, GFW HAS AGREED TO REGULARLY UPLOAD THAT DATA TO ITS PLATFORM. THIS BRINGS US VERY CLOSE TO REACHING OUR ULTIMATE GOAL OF GETTING THE FISHERIES AUTHORITY TO SHARE ITS VMS DATA OF MEXICAN FISHING VESSELS IN NEAR-REAL-TIME DIRECTLY WITH GFW TO ALLOW FOR INCREASED AND TIMELY MONITORING OF POTENTIAL ILLEGAL FISHING IN MEXICO'S OCEAN WATERS. THE FISHERIES AUTHORITY AGREED TO THIS MORE REGULAR TRANSFER OF DATA AFTER OCEANA DEMONSTRATED TO THEM THE NEED FOR AND IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPARENCY INTO THE MEXICAN INDUSTRIAL FLEET. HAVING THE RAW VMS DATA UPLOADED TO GFW WILL MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR ANALYSIS BY OTHER RESEARCHERS, NGOS AND EVEN GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS. THIS PAST YEAR, OCEANA ALSO HELPED PUSH THE GOVERNMENT TO COMPLETE A NEAR-FINAL DRAFT OF A FIRST-EVER SEAFOOD TRACEABILITY RULE, WHICH INCLUDES RECOMMENDATIONS DEVELOPED BY OCEANA TO PREVENT SPECIES SUBSTITUTION FOR SEAFOOD SOLD IN MEXICO. FISHERIES REBUILDING WE HAVE ENGAGED TWO MORE FISHERS' COMMUNITIES, IN TABASCO AND TAMAULIPAS (BOTH BORDERING THE GULF OF MXICO), AS PART OF OUR PLAN TO BUILD SUPPORT FROM FISHERS FOR A NATIONAL LAW COMPELLING THE GOVERNMENT TO REBUILD FISHERIES. WE HAVE NOW ENGAGED THE LEADERS FROM EIGHT SUCH FISHER COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING IN SINALOA, SONORA, BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR (NORTHWEST); YUCATAN (SOUTHEAST); AND VERACRUZ (GULF OF MEXICO). PROTECT HABITAT STARTING ON AUGUST 9, 2021, AND DESPITE THE CHALLENGES OF COVID-19, WE CONDUCTED OUR FIRST SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION AT SEA IN MEXICO. THE PURPOSE OF OUR EXPEDITION WAS TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ON THE ALACRANES REEF'S HEALTH AND GATHER ASSETS TO ASSIST US IN WINNING FURTHER PROTECTIONS FOR THIS MARINE AREA. WE ALSO AIM TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF ALACRANES REEF IN SUPPORT OF COASTAL COMMUNITIES AND SMALL-SCALE FISHERS. THE EXPEDITION INCLUDED A GROUP OF SCIENTISTS, SCUBA DIVERS, VIDEOGRAPHERS, AND OCEANA STAFF. WE BEGAN DOCUMENTING ALACRANES REEF AND BAJOS DEL NORTE. THE TEAM COLLECTED EVIDENCE NEEDED TO PROTECT THE LARGEST CORAL REEF STRUCTURE IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE EXPEDITION'S RESULTS WILL BE FINALIZED IN 2022, AND WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED WORKING WITH MEXICAN AUTHORITIES AND STAKEHOLDERS. AFTER THE PRESS CONFERENCE THAT ANNOUNCED THE EXPEDITION, WE MET WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES INCLUDING THE SECRETARY OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATIONAL COMMISSION OF NATURAL PROTECTED AREAS. WE ALSO MET WITH THE SECRETARIES OF FISHING, ENVIRONMENT, AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF YUCATAN, THE STATE WHERE ALACRANES REEF IS LOCATED. WE ARE NOW PARTNERING WITH LOCAL FISHERS TO DISCUSS AND AGREE ON THE PROTECTIONS NEEDED BY ALACRANES AND THE SURROUNDING REGION. PERU HABITAT PROTECTION TO IMPROVE THE MANAGEMENT OF EXISTING MPAS, OCEANA IS ENSURING THAT PERU'S NATIONAL SERVICE OF NATURAL PROTECTED AREAS (SERNANP) EFFECTIVELY PROTECTS THE WATERS AROUND MPAS IN THE REGIONS OF PIURA AND ICA, THROUGH IMPROVED CONTROLS OF FISHING AND TOURISM. ILLEGAL FISHING OCEANA COMPLETED AN UPDATED ESTIMATION OF ANCHOVETA LANDINGS ILLEGALLY DIVERTED TO FISHMEAL PROCESSING USING INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE MINISTRY OF PRODUCTION (PRODUCE) AND CUSTOMS TRADE RECORDS WE ARE NOW EXPANDING THE ANALYSIS TO INCLUDE THE ILLEGAL DETOUR OF GIANT SQUID LEGALLY ONLY ALLOWED TO BE USED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION - FOR PROTEIN-RICH FISHMEAL PRODUCTION. MEANWHILE, WE WERE ABLE TO STOP THE APPROVAL IN CONGRESS OF A BILL ALLOWING THE EXPANSION OF SMALL-SCALE FISHMEAL PROCESSING PLANTS USUALLY INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL FISHMEAL PROCESSING - PROMOTED BY LOCAL INTEREST GROUPS. ALSO, OCEANA SIGNED A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE SPECIAL OFFICE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS OF THE NATIONAL ATTORNEY'S OFFICE (FEMA). THROUGH THIS MOU, WE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE PROSECUTION CAPACITIES OF FEMA AGAINST FISHERIES AND MARINE WILDLIFE CRIME. PHILIPPINES STOP ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL FISHING IN MUNICIPAL WATERS THE FISHERIES BUREAU HAS STARTED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF VESSEL MONITORING RULES AND, WITH A COMPLIANCE RATE CURRENTLY ONLY AT 10%, WE ARE PUSHING FOR AT LEAST 50% AMONG COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS THIS YEAR. THE FISHERIES BUREAU HAS ALSO ADOPTED A UNIFIED ENFORCEMENT REPORTING SYSTEM THAT CAN TRIGGER REVOCATION OF THE FISHING LICENSE FOR VESSELS THAT VIOLATE THESE RULES. AS WE SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VESSEL MONITORING RULES FOR COMMERCIAL FISHING BOATS, WE ALSO ARE FIGHTING EFFORTS TO WEAKEN OR STOP THIS. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR CAMPAIGNING WITH ALLIES AND PARTNERS SUCCESSFULLY STALLED THE APPROVAL OF A BILL ALLOWING COMMERCIAL FISHING IN MUNICIPAL WATERS THAT WAS INTRODUCED INTO CONGRESS. WE ALSO ELEVATED OUR APPEAL TO THE SUPREME COURT OF A REGIONAL TRIAL COURT'S DECISION DECLARING THE VESSEL MONITORING RULES AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. DETER ILLEGAL DUMP AND FILL ACTIVITY OCEANA LOST ITS LEGAL CASE AGAINST A DUMP-AND-FILL PROJECT IN THE PHILIPPINES THAT WOULD DESTROY MANGROVES. WE HAD IDENTIFIED A HIGH-PROFILE PROJECT IN MANILA BAY LED BY THE LARGEST COMPANY IN THE PHILIPPINES, SAN MIGUEL CORPORATION, THROUGH SAN MIGUEL AEROCITY, AND PURSUED A LEGAL STRATEGY TO STOP THE PROJECT, DRAWING ATTENTION TO THIS DESTRUCTIVE PROCESS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. GIVEN THIS SETBACK, WE ARE NOW CAMPAIGNING TO WIN STRONG POLICY ACTION BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO REQUIRE STRICT ADHERENCE TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BEFORE ALLOWING DUMP-AND-FILL PROJECTS. STRENGTHEN CORAL-RICH MARINE PROTECTED AREAS OCEANA SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED ITS PLANNED 22-DAY EXPEDITION TO PANAON ISLAND IN SOUTHERN LEYTE, DESPITE COVID-19 AND TWO TYPHOONS DURING THE TRIP. THE EXPEDITION CAPTURED IMAGES AND RESEARCH TO SUPPORT THE DESIGNATION OF CORAL-RICH PANAON AS A MARINE PROTECTED AREA. THE VIBRANT AND DIVERSE CORALS DOCUMENTED BY OUR TEAM EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS, GIVEN THE POOR STATE OF MANY CORALS IN THE PHILIPPINES, AND INCREASED OUR DETERMINATION TO PROTECT THIS CRITICAL ECOSYSTEM. DESPITE SEVERAL CHALLENGES WITH THE WEATHER, THE TEAM COMPLETED 34 DIVES AT 19 SANCTUARIES AND 15 CONTROL SITES OVER A SPAN OF 20 DAYS AROUND PANAON ISLAND. EACH DIVE SITE HAD UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF ITS OWN. THESE INCLUDED A SITE WITH A HUGE AREA COVERED WITH LIVE BRANCHING CORALS, AREAS WITH VAST SOFT CORAL COVER, AND ANOTHER THAT IS COMPARABLE TO A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE, THE TUBBATAHA REEFS. PANAON ISLAND IS ALSO IDENTIFIED BY A GROUP OF SCIENTISTS TO BE PART OF THE PRIORITY REEFS WITH HIGH PROBABILITY OF SURVIVING THE ADVERSE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE THUS THE URGENCY TO PROTECT IT. TO MOVE THE MPA PROCESS FORWARD, OCEANA COMPLETED A SUMMARY OF THE PRELIMINARY FINDINGS FROM THE EXPEDITION AND SUBMITTED IT TO CONGRESSIONAL, PROVINCIAL, AND MUNICIPAL LEADERS AND REGIONAL OFFICES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES AND BUREAU OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES FOR THEIR REFERENCE. REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICS WE SUED TO COMPEL THE NATIONAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT COMMISSION TO CARRY OUT THEIR LEGAL OBLIGATION TO ISSUE A LIST OF NON-ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING MATERIALS. THERE ARE 50 CO-PETITIONERS CONSISTING OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, ENVIRONMENT ADVOCATES, YOUTH ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATES, CHILDREN, FISHERFOLK, DIVERS AND WASTE PICKERS. TO DATE, 53 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE PASSED RESOLUTIONS CALLING ON THE COMMISSION TO RELEASE THE LIST OF NON-ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING AND BAN SINGLE-USE PLASTICS NATIONWIDE. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | TRANSPARENT OCEANS INITIATIVE OCEANA'S NEW TRANSPARENT OCEANS INITIATIVE (TOI) SEEKS TO REIGN IN THE HARMFUL PRACTICES OF DISTANT WATER FLEETS AROUND THE WORLD, WHICH OPERATE IN THE HIGH SEAS OR WITHIN THE NATIONAL WATERS OF OTHER NATIONS, LARGELY WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY. TOI WILL COMPLEMENT OCEANA'S EXISTING CAMPAIGNS AGAINST IUU FISHING IN THE WORLD'S TOP FISHING COUNTRIES BY CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON DISTANT WATER FISHING'S IMPACT ON THE OCEANS AND THOSE WHO RELY ON THEM, EMPOWERING DECISION-MAKERS TO IMPLEMENT RESPONSIBLE DISTANT WATER FISHING POLICIES AND COMMUNICATING THE IMPORTANCE OF FISHERIES TRANSPARENCY AROUND THE WORLD. IN 2021, TOI COMMISSIONED THREE REPORTS THAT PROVIDED KEY INFORMATION ON THE IMPACT OF DISTANT WATER FISHING (DWF) AROUND THE WORLD. THESE REPORTS WERE: - ASSESSING THE SPATIAL BURDEN OF HARMFUL FISHERIES SUBSIDIES BY DRS. DANIEL SKERRITT AND RASHID SUMAILA, THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. THIS REPORT FOUND THAT JUST 10 COUNTRIES (CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA, RUSSIA, U.S.A., THAILAND, TAIWAN, SPAIN, INDONESIA AND NORWAY) ACCOUNT FOR MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS OF THE WORLD'S TOTAL SPENDING ON HARMFUL FISHING SUBSIDIES. THE INVESTIGATION ALSO DISCOVERED THAT APPROXIMATELY 40 PERCENT OF THESE HARMFUL SUBSIDIES GO TO DISTANT WATER FLEETS, WHICH FISH ON THE HIGH SEAS OR IN OTHER NATIONS' EEZS, OFTEN IN THE WATERS OF LOW-INCOME NATIONS. THIS ACTIVITY WOULD LIKELY NOT PROVE PROFITABLE WITHOUT THESE SUBSIDIES. BY FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING SUCH ACTIVITY, THESE COUNTRIES ARE ESSENTIALLY SUBSIDIZING OVERFISHING. - TRANSVERSAL LINKAGES IN WORLD'S FISHING CRIMES AND THE ROLE OF LEGAL ACCESS AS AN ENABLER OF CRIMINALITY BY DRS. DYHIA BELHABIB, ECOTRUST CANADA AND PHILIPPE LE BILLON, THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. - ADDRESSING CHINA'S FINANCING AND SUBSIDIZATION OF FISHERIES AT HOME AND ABROAD BY DR. TABITHA MALLORY, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON AND CHINA OCEAN INSTITUTE. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | PROTECT ENDANGERED SPECIES FROM ENTANGLEMENT IN FISHING GEAR AFTER YEARS OF CAMPAIGNING, OCEANA DELIVERED $1 MILLION TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO HELP TRANSITION FISHERMEN AWAY FROM THE HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE DRIFT GILLNET GEAR IN CALIFORNIA'S SWORDFISH FISHERY. THIS DONATION TRIGGERED A FOUR-YEAR PHASE-OUT OF ALL REMAINING STATE DRIFT GILLNET PERMITS, WHICH WILL END ANY REMAINING DRIFT GILLNET FISHING BY JANUARY 31, 2024, IN THE ONLY STATE IN THE U.S. WHERE USE OF THIS GEAR REMAINS LEGAL. THESE MILE-LONG DRIFT GILLNETS ARE NEARLY INVISIBLE AND ARE SET OUT OVERNIGHT NEAR THE OCEAN'S SURFACE TO CAPTURE SWORDFISH. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTANGLING, INJURING AND KILLING ENDANGERED WHALES AND SEA TURTLES AS WELL AS DOLPHINS, SEA LIONS, SHARKS AND OTHER IMPORTANT NON-TARGETED FISH SPECIES. THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ESTIMATED THAT AT LEAST 20 MILES OF DRIFT GILLNET GEAR HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE DRIFT GILLNET FISHERY FOR SWORDFISH IN 2021. WITH AN INCREASE IN WHALE SIGHTINGS IN APRIL 2021, THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE CLOSED THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DUNGENESS CRAB FISHERY IN WATERS DEEPER THAN 30 FATHOMS (180 FEET). IN JUNE 2021, THEY IMPOSED A STATEWIDE CLOSURE OF THE COMMERCIAL DUNGENESS CRAB FISHERY TO PREVENT WHALE ENTANGLEMENTS. THESE TIME AND AREA CLOSURES ACHIEVE AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF OUR WHALE ENTANGLEMENT CAMPAIGN. FURTHERMORE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SANCTUARY FOUNDATION AND SUSTAINABLE SEAS TECHNOLOGY, OCEANA HELPED DEPLOY FOUR DIFFERENT ROPELESS FISHING TECHNOLOGIES. OCEANA FACILITATED TWO DEMONSTRATION EVENTS IN MONTEREY BAY, AND AT-SEA DEMONSTRATIONS AND TRAINING OF THREE STATE GAME WARDENS AS WELL AS THE LEAD STATE STAFFER ON WHALE ENTANGLEMENTS. WE ALSO INITIATED COLLABORATION WITH THE LEADERSHIP AND LEGAL TEAM OF THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE REGARDING A ROADMAP FOR ROPELESS GEAR AUTHORIZATION IN EARLY 2022. REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICS TOGETHER WITH MORE THAN 30 NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING SURFRIDER, U.S. PUBLIC INTEREST RESEARCH GROUPS (PIRGS), THE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, AND BEYOND PLASTICS, OCEANA IS USING A COMBINATION OF GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING, STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH, AND TARGETED FEDERAL ADVOCACY TO PUSH FOR NATIONAL LEGISLATION THAT WOULD LIMIT SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IN THE U.S., LIKE THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC POLLUTION ACT. TO PASS NATIONAL LEGISLATION AGAINST PLASTIC POLLUTION, OCEANA AND OUR ALLIES ARE DEMONSTRATING TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS THAT THEIR CONSTITUENTS WANT THIS AND THAT LARGE COMPANIES CAN INCORPORATE REDUCTION OF PLASTICS INTO THEIR BUSINESS MODEL. OUR LOCAL (MUNICIPAL AND STATE) AND CORPORATE CAMPAIGNS, THEREFORE, NOT ONLY REDUCE PLASTIC POLLUTION IN THEMSELVES, BUT ALSO CONSTITUTE KEY COMPONENTS OF OBTAINING NATIONAL POLICY CHANGE. AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, OCEANA HAS SECURED SIX STATE LAWS IN VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, WASHINGTON, AND NEW YORK THAT LIMIT PLASTIC POLLUTION, AND SUCCESSFULLY DEFEATED AN ATTEMPT IN GEORGIA TO PASS A LAW THAT WOULD PREVENT CITIES AND TOWNS FROM TAKING ACTION TO LIMIT PLASTIC. IN VIRGINIA, WE SUCCEEDED IN PASSING TWO BILLS INTO LAW IN FEBRUARY 2021. THE FIRST OF THESE LAWS BANS EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE FOAM FOOD WARE, INCLUDING FOAM CARRYOUT BOXES AND CUPS, WHILE THE SECOND BANS THE INTENTIONAL RELEASE OF BALLOONS. WE ALSO SECURED TWO STATE LAWS IN WASHINGTON THAT BAN SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BAGS, REGULATE RECYCLING REQUIREMENTS FOR REUSABLE BAGS, BAN POLYSTYRENE FOAM, AND PROHIBIT PLASTIC UTENSILS AND STRAWS EXCEPT ON REQUEST. IN NEW YORK, WE SECURED A LAW THAT BANS PLASTIC FOAM FOOD AND BEVERAGE CONTAINERS IN RESTAURANTS, GROCERY STORES, AND OTHER VENUES AND THE USE OF PLASTIC FOAM PEANUTS FOR PACKAGING, WHILE IN MARYLAND WE HELPED TO BAN INTENTIONAL BALLOON RELEASES. OCEANA HAS ALSO SECURED LOCAL ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS AGAINST PLASTIC POLLUTION IN CITIES THROUGHOUT THE U.S., INCLUDING LARGE CITIES LIKE NEW YORK CITY, WASHINGTON D.C., AND LOS ANGELES. MANY OF THESE POLICIES SPECIFICALLY PROHIBIT UNNECESSARY THROWAWAY PLASTIC LIKE POLYSTYRENE FOAM, PLASTIC BAGS, STRAWS, UTENSILS, AND OTHER SIMILAR ITEMS. OTHERS FORMALLY VOICE SUPPORT FOR ELIMINATING STATE PREEMPTION LAWS, WHICH PREVENT CITIES AND TOWNS FROM TAKING ACTION AGAINST PLASTIC POLLUTION. |
