| Desc | INTERNATIONALBELIZEBAN GILLNETSIN AUGUST 2020, OCEANA AND THE COALITION FOR SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES CONVINCED THE BELIZEAN GOVERNMENT TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT COMMITTING TO BAN GILLNETS BY 2022 AT THE LATEST. JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT, IN NOVEMBER, THE GOVERNMENT OF BELIZE SIGNED INTO LAW STATUTORY INSTRUMENT 158 OF 2020, IMMEDIATELY BANNING ALL GILLNETS. THIS SIGNING WAS IN LARGE PART DUE TO FUNDRAISING EFFORTS FROM OCEANA AND THE COALITION. OCEANA WAS ABLE TO FINALIZE COMMITMENTS FROM FOUNDATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL DONORS TOTALING $1 MILLION BZD FOR THE CREATION OF A GILLNET LICENSE BUYBACK FUND. WHEN COMBINED WITH AN ADDITIONAL $1 MILLION BZD RAISED BY THE COALITION FOR SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES TO TRANSITION LICENSED GILLNET FISHERS TO ALTERNATIVE GEAR AND/OR LIVELIHOODS, THIS PACKAGE OF FUNDING CONVINCED THE GOVERNMENT OF BELIZE TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT WITH OCEANA AND THE COALITION TO BAN GILLNETS. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROPOSED GILLNET BUYBACK FUND, WHICH HAS ALREADY BEGUN DISBURSING ITS FUNDS, WILL HELP FACILITATE SUSTAINABLE INCOME DIVERSIFICATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR FISHERFOLK IN BELIZE, AND WILL HELP TRANSITION BELIZE AWAY FROM THE USE OF DESTRUCTIVE FISHING GEAR. IN DOING SO, THIS PROJECT WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT TO BELIZEAN FISHERY ABUNDANCE AND THE HEALTH OF THE MESOAMERICAN REEF. SINCE THE LAW WENT INTO EFFECT, ALL NETS FROM ALL QUALIFIED GILLNET FISHERS - APPROXIMATELY 25,000 FEET OF NETS - HAVE BEEN COLLECTED ALONG WITH TAGS AND LICENSES AND ARE BEING SECURED BY THE COAST GUARD. THE NEWLY-ENACTED BAN ON GILLNETS IS A HUGE STEP IN PROTECTING BELIZE'S OCEAN - HOME TO 40 PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S SECOND-LARGEST CORAL REEF SYSTEM - FROM DESTRUCTIVE FISHING. THE GOVERNMENT'S BAN ON GILLNETS ADDRESSES A DIRE THREAT TO THE RESILIENCY OF BELIZE'S REEF AND HELPS IT ADAPT TO THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE OVER THE NEXT FEW DECADES. | Desc |

| Desc | UNITED STATESIN THE UNITED STATES, OCEANA IS WORKING ON SCIENCE-BASED POLICY CAMPAIGNS THAT SEEK TO ADVANCE RESPONSIBLE FISHING, REDUCE ILLEGAL FISHING, STOP THE SHARK FIN TRADE, PROTECT THE NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE, STOP NEW OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT, AND DEFEND THE NATION'S BEDROCK CONSERVATION LAWS.STOP EXPANDED OFFSHORE DRILLINGTHANKS TO OCEANA AND OUR PARTNERS, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WAS NOT ABLE TO FINALIZE ITS REVISED FIVE-YEAR OIL AND GAS LEASING PLAN THAT WOULD HAVE INCLUDED EXPANDED LEASE SALES FOR OFFSHORE DRILLING IN MORE THAN 90 PERCENT OF U.S. WATERS IN THE ATLANTIC, PACIFIC AND ARCTIC OCEANS. PRIOR TO THE 2020 ELECTIONS, ON SEPTEMBER 8, PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCED A 10-YEAR MORATORIUM ON OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING FOR FLORIDA, GEORGIA, SOUTH CAROLINA AND, ULTIMATELY, NORTH CAROLINA IN A MAJOR REVERSAL OF POLICY. THE MORATORIUM IS SET TO TAKE EFFECT JULY 1, 2022. OCEANA BELIEVES THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WAS SPURRED BY THE ORGANIZED OUTCRY FROM COASTAL RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES IN THESE STATES AS WELL AS FROM THE LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL DECISION-MAKERS WHO HAD BECOME CHAMPIONS IN THESE EFFORTS. SEISMIC BLASTING IS ALSO NO LONGER AN IMMEDIATE OR NEAR-TERM THREAT TO OCEAN WATERS, MARINE LIFE AND COASTAL COMMUNITIES ALONG THE U.S. EAST COAST. AFTER YEARS OF OCEANA ORGANIZING OPPOSITION TO EXPANDED OFFSHORE DRILLING AND SEISMIC SURVEYS AMONGST COASTAL RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES, SEISMIC PERMITS HELD BY FOUR SEISMIC COMPANIES EXPIRED ON NOVEMBER 30, 2020. IN EARLY OCTOBER 2020, THE COURT DISMISSED LITIGATION FILED BY OCEANA AND MORE THAN TWENTY NGO PARTNERS IN 2018, RECOGNIZING THAT SEISMIC AIRGUN BLASTING COULD NOT BEGIN UNDER THE LAPSED PERMITS AND THAT THE SEISMIC COMPANIES WILL NEED TO RESTART THE PROCESS IF THEY WISH TO CONDUCT SEISMIC SURVEYS. AS A RESULT, OCEANA AND OUR ALLIES PREVENTED HARM TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MARINE MAMMALS. | 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, 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 | REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IN JANUARY 2020, THE GOVERNMENT OF BELIZE OFFICIALLY BANNED SEVERAL SINGLE-USE DISPOSABLE FOOD PLASTIC ITEMS, INCLUDING CLAMSHELLS, PLATES, BOWLS, LIDS, UTENSILS, BAGS AND STRAWS. THESE ITEMS REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY 20 PERCENT OF THE SOLID WASTE COLLECTED IN BELIZE. THE NATIONAL PLASTICS LAW PROVIDED THAT, ON JULY 15, THE MANUFACTURING OF SINGLE-USE STYROFOAM AND PLASTIC ITEMS WAS TO CEASE. HOWEVER, IN MID-JULY, THE MANUFACTURERS REQUESTED AN EXTENSION. TO JUSTIFY THEIR EXTENSION, THE BUSINESSES ASSERTED THAT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAD "USED UP MOST OF THE NATIONAL INVENTORY FOR PROHIBITED PRODUCTS AND THAT THERE WERE "INSUFFICIENT SUPPLIES TO MEET ONGOING DEMAND." BELIZE'S CABINET GRANTED THE EXTENSION, ALLOWING MANUFACTURING TO CONTINUE UNTIL FEBRUARY 2021. IN BELIZE, MANUFACTURERS PRODUCE 35 MILLION SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BAGS AND FIVE MILLION PIECES OF STYROFOAM FOOD ITEMS. THE GOVERNMENT JUSTIFIED THIS EXTENSION AS "A WAY OF HELPING TO KEEP EMPLOYED PERSONS EMPLOYED, EVEN IF THEIR JOBS ARE TO MAKE SINGLE-USE PLASTIC ITEMS." SALE AND POSSESSION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IS NOW SCHEDULED TO BE PROHIBITED IN 2021. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | BRAZIL DESPITE THE TERRIBLE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, OCEANA WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE PROGRESS IN BRAZIL DURING 2020. BAN BOTTOM TRAWLING IN THE STATE OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL OCEANA HAS BEEN CAMPAIGNING FOR TWO YEARS TO DEFEND A BOTTOM TRAWL BAN IN THE STATE OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL, A BAN WHICH WE HELPED SECURE IN 2018. THE SUPREME COURT ISSUED A DECISION ON JUNE 18, 2020 IN AN UNRELATED CASE CHALLENGING A LAW IN AMAPA STATE BANNING INDUSTRIAL SHRIMP BOTTOM TRAWLING IN COASTAL WATERS. THE COURT UNANIMOUSLY DECIDED THAT STATE LAWS BANNING BOTTOM TRAWLING ARE FULLY CONSTITUTIONAL. THIS DECISION IS A FAVORABLE PRECEDENT FOR OUR CAMPAIGN TO DEFEND THE BOTTOM TRAWLING BAN IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL. FISHERIES IN THE AREA ARE ALREADY REPORTING INCREASED CATCHES OF SHRIMP, WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE BAN BEING IMPLEMENTED. UNFORTUNATELY, ON DECEMBER 16, 2020, THE SUPREME COURT ISSUED A DECISION THAT ENABLES THE TERRITORIAL SEAS OFF THE COAST OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL TO REOPEN FOR BOTTOM TRAWLING. THE COURT GRANTED A MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AGAINST THE BOTTOM-TRAWL BAN, AND ALTHOUGH THE INJUNCTION LASTS ONLY UNTIL THE SUPREME COURT RULES ON THE MERITS, BRAZIL'S SUPREME COURT CAN TAKE YEARS TO RESOLVE A CASE, SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT AND ALARMING DEVELOPMENT. IMPLEMENTING CATCH LIMITS FOR COMMERCIAL FISHERIES WE HAVE COMPLETED STOCK ASSESSMENTS FOR THREE FISHERIES AND MET AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE WHEN WE SUCCESSFULLY CONVINCED ARTISANAL FISHERS WHO CATCH LOBSTER, WHO WERE INITIALLY RELUCTANT TO ADOPT ANY TYPE OF CONTROL, TO SUPPORT OCEANA IN FAVOR OF A QUOTA SYSTEM. WE HELD A SERIES OF FOUR WORKSHOPS TO EXPLAIN THE CONCEPTS OF STOCK ASSESSMENTS, FISHING QUOTAS AND THE CURRENT STATE OF THE LOBSTER STOCK, RESULTING IN AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT PREPARED BY 120 ARTISANAL FISHERS THAT PETITIONED THE GOVERNMENT TO SET A FISHING QUOTA FOR LOBSTER. THIS WILL HELP SUPPORT THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THIS FISHERY. LAST YEAR THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN THE DECISION-MAKING FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCILS (FMCS) THAT WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR ESTABLISHING THESE LIMITS. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED WAYS AROUND THIS TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL, BRINGING TOGETHER EXPERTS TO DEVELOP STOCK ASSESSMENTS FOR IMPORTANT BUT DATA-POOR COMMERCIAL SPECIES AND WORKING WITH THE FISHING SECTOR TO DEVELOP AND TEST MONITORING, CONTROL, AND TRACEABILITY TOOLS, AND ADVOCATE FOR REGULATIONS FOR CATCH LIMITS BASED ON OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. IMPROVING FISHERIES MONITORING OCEANA WON A MAJOR REFORM FOR BRAZIL'S FISHERIES IN JULY 2020 WHEN PRESIDENT BOLSONARO AND SECRETARY OF FISHERIES FORMALLY LAUNCHED A NEW ONLINE LOGBOOK SYSTEM FOR REPORTING CATCH DATA WITHIN BRAZIL'S INDUSTRIAL FISHING FLEET, COMPRISED OF NEARLY 6,000 VESSELS. THIS SYSTEM, WHICH WILL STRENGTHEN FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND DATA COLLECTION THROUGHOUT BRAZIL, IS ALREADY ONLINE AND REPLACING THE TRADITIONAL BUT INEFFECTIVE PAPER-BASED FORMS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT FOR A COUNTRY THAT LACKS BASIC INFORMATION ON ITS FISHERIES. BRAZIL AND MYANMAR ARE THE ONLY TWO TOP-50 FISHING NATIONS THAT DO NOT PROVIDE REGULAR DATA ON MARINE CAPTURE FISHERIES TO THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO). HAVING ONLINE LOGBOOKS IN PLACE DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT DATA IS ACCESSIBLE IN A USABLE WAY. OUR NEXT CHALLENGE IS TO PUSH FOR TRANSPARENCY AND FULL ACCESS TO FISHING INFORMATION. WE HAVE THEREFORE INITIATED A NEW PROJECT WITH GLOBAL FISHING WATCH AND OTHER PARTNERS, CALLED THE OPEN TUNA PROJECT, TO DEMONSTRATE THE BENEFITS OF TRANSPARENCY BY WORKING DIRECTLY WITH BRAZIL'S INDUSTRIAL TUNA FISHING FLEET. WE HAVE ALREADY CONVINCED THE LONGLINE TUNA INDUSTRY TO VOLUNTARILY OPEN LOGBOOK DATA, AND OLD PAPER FORMS ARE BEING UPLOADED TO THE PROJECT'S DATABASE. THIS OPEN TUNA PROJECT WILL CREATE A BENCHMARK ON TRANSPARENCY AND ACCESS TO INFORMATION, PUSHING THE GOVERNMENT TO MAKE ALL FISHERIES DATA PUBLIC. LIMIT SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IN NOVEMBER 2020, OCEANA IN BRAZIL PUBLISHED A REPORT ON SINGLE-USE PLASTICS, DESCRIBING THE PLASTIC INDUSTRY, BRAZIL'S WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, OCEAN POLLUTION IMPACTS TO THE BRAZILIAN MARINE FAUNA, AND ALTERNATIVES TO SINGLE-USE PLASTICS. OUR REPORT RECOMMENDS NATIONAL LEGISLATION TO REDUCE SINGLE-USE PLASTICS, ACTION BY COMPANIES TO OFFER PLASTIC-FREE CHOICES TO CONSUMERS, AND CREATION OF PLASTIC-FREE ZONES IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACES. WE PRESENTED THE HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR REPORT TO THE LEADERS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSIONS IN BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, WHO SAID THEY WERE IMPRESSED BY THE FACTS AND OFFERED TO HOST PUBLIC HEARINGS AS SOON AS CONGRESS RETURNS TO ITS NORMAL OPERATIONS. WE ALSO DRAFTED A NEW BILL FOR CONGRESS THAT WOULD GRADUALLY ELIMINATE DISPOSABLE PLASTICS SUCH AS STYROFOAM CONTAINERS, UTENSILS, PLATES AND CUPS, AS WELL AS REQUIRING A FEE FOR PLASTIC BAGS. OCEANA CANADA IN 2020, 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 OCEANA ACHIEVED A MAJOR CAMPAIGN VICTORY IN 2019 TO GAIN A REFORM OF THE FISHERIES ACT THAT REQUIRES REBUILDING PLANS FOR DEPLETED STOCKS. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NOT YET ACHIEVED OUR GOAL TO GET REGULATIONS ENACTED THAT SUPPORT THE FISHERIES ACT, WHICH WERE DELAYED DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. IN EARLY 2021 DRAFT REGULATIONS WERE RELEASED THAT OCEANA IS NOT SATISFIED WITH, AND WE ARE FOCUSED ON IMPROVING THEM. SPECIFICALLY, WE ARE PUSHING FOR: - REGULATIONS THAT REQUIRE REBUILDING PLANS AND THAT INCLUDE A TIMELINE FOR REBUILDING, TARGETS AND REFERENCE POINTS FOR STOCK ABUNDANCE; - FISHERY MONITORING POLICY IMPLEMENTATION WORKPLANS WITH PRIORITIES AND TIMELINES THAT ENSURES SUFFICIENT LEVELS OF MONITORING OF ALL RETAINED AND DISCARDED CATCH WITHIN FIVE YEARS FOR ALL MAJOR STOCKS; AND - FORMAL AND CLEAR POLICY GUIDANCE BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR FISHERIES MANAGERS TO EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENT THE NEW REGULATIONS FOR REBUILDING, INCLUDING HOW TO INTEGRATE THE VULNERABILITY OF STOCKS TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND OTHER ECOSYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS INTO DECISION MAKING FOR DEPLETED STOCKS. PROTECTING OCEAN HABITAT IN CANADA OCEANA CANADA HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE GOVERNMENT TO DESIGNATE A 133,000 KM2 STRETCH OF OFFSHORE MARINE HABITAT IN THE CANADIAN PACIFIC AS A MARINE PROTECTED AREA (MPA). OCEANA HAS CALLED FOR REGULATIONS THAT WILL PERMANENTLY PROTECT THIS AREA FROM THE THREATS OF MINING AND BOTTOM-CONTACT FISHING GEAR, AND WE ARE DEVELOPING A PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGN USING THE VIDEOS AND PHOTOGRAPHS WE CAPTURED ON OUR 2018 EXPEDITION. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO DELAYS EXACERBATED BY COVID, THIS GOAL WILL NOT BE ACHIEVED UNTIL 2021 AS THE REGULATORY PROCESS TO PROTECT THE OFFSHORE PACIFIC MARINE PROTECTED AREA HAS BEEN DELAYED. TO DATE, OCEANA HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROTECTION OF THE AMERICAN BANK MPA, EASTERN HONGUEDO STRAIT CORAL AND SPONGE CONSERVATION AREAS AND EASTERN GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE CORAL CONSERVATION AREA FOR A TOTAL OF 3,761 KM2. STOP SEAFOOD FRAUD IN CANADA IN JUNE, OCEANA SUBMITTED A DETAILED POLICY BRIEF TO THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT OUTLINING A HIGH-LEVEL VISION FOR A CANADIAN TRACEABILITY FRAMEWORK. THE GOAL OF THE BRIEF WAS TO PROVIDE A CLEAR, COMPREHENSIVE PATH TO ADVANCE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S MANDATE TO IMPLEMENT A BOAT-TO-PLATE SEAFOOD TRACEABILITY SYSTEM IN CANADA. THE POLICY BRIEF INCLUDED OUR RECOMMENDED MECHANISMS FOR ESTABLISHING AN INTER-DEPARTMENTAL TASK FORCE TO IMPLEMENT FULL-CHAIN TRACEABILITY, AS OUTLINED IN OUR ANNUAL CAMPAIGN GOAL. OCEANA IS ALSO IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CANADIAN FOOD INSPECTION AGENCY (CFIA) AND WITH FISHERIES AND OCEANS CANADA (DFO). WE HAVE ORGANIZED AN ONLINE CONSULTATION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, ENGOS AND INDUSTRY ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE IN SEPTEMBER 2021. OCEANA IS ARRANGING EXPERT PRESENTATIONS DURING THE CONSULTATION. WE HAVE ALSO COMMISSIONED AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACTS OF ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED (IUU) ACTIVITIES IN CANADA BY THE FISHERIES ECONOMICS RESEARCH UNIT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. THIS REPORT, WHICH WILL BE RELEASED IN OCTOBER, WILL SHINE A LIGHT ON CANADA'S PREVIOUSLY OVERLOOKED ROLE IN PERPETUATING A MARKET FOR IUU PRODUCTS, AND WILL PRODUCE ORIGINAL DATA SHOWING THE FINANCIAL LOSSES CURRENTLY BEING SUSTAINED BY CANADIAN INDUSTRIES AND TAXPAYERS THROUGH ALLOWING IUU PRODUCTS UNFETTERED ACCESS TO THE CANADIAN MARKET. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | PROTECT NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES OCEANA CANADA IS CAMPAIGNING TO PROTECT THE FEW NORTH AMERICAN RIGHT WHALES STILL IN EXISTENCE, WHICH NUMBER APPROXIMATELY 400. TOWARD THAT END, WE ARE PROMOTING REDUCED SHIPPING SPEEDS IN ZONES WHERE WHALES TRANSIT. TO PRESSURE THE GOVERNMENT TO MAKE SLOWDOWNS MANDATORY, OCEANA CONDUCTED AN ANALYSIS USING GLOBAL FISHING WATCH AND SHIP SPEED WATCH TO DEMONSTRATE THAT ONLY 33 PERCENT OF VESSELS WERE TRANSITING AT THE REQUESTED 10 KNOTS. WEEKLY REPORTS WERE SENT TO GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND A REPORT WAS LAUNCHED TO THE PUBLIC. ONE RESULT: IN FEBRUARY 2020, TRANSPORT CANADA ANNOUNCED A VOLUNTARY SPEED RESTRICTION IN THE CABOT STRAIT THAT WOULD BE APPLIED IN THE SPRING AND THE AUTUMN TO PROTECT THE CRITICALLY-ENDANGERED NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE. WE WERE ALSO SUCCESSFUL IN SECURING SUPPORT FROM AT LEAST ONE MAJOR CANADIAN SHIPPING COMPANY FOR A MANDATORY MEASURE IN THE CABOT STRAIT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR A MANDATORY MEASURE IN THE CABOT STRAIT FOR 2021. LIMIT SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IN OCTOBER 2020, OCEANA REACHED A 2021 CAMPAIGN MILESTONE EARLY WHEN THE MINISTER OF THE ENVIRONMENT PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED THE INTENTION TO BAN SIX SINGLE-USE PLASTICS PRODUCTS (PLASTIC CHECK-OUT BAGS, STIR STICKS, SIX-PACK RINGS, CUTLERY, STRAWS AND FOODSERVICE WARE MADE FROM PROBLEMATIC PLASTICS) BY THE END OF 2021. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS PART OF A LARGER GOVERNMENT DISCUSSION PAPER THAT WILL ALSO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF ZERO PLASTIC WASTE BY 2030. IN MEETINGS WITH THE MINISTER'S OFFICE EARLIER IN THE YEAR, STAFF EXPLAINED THAT ANNOUNCING THE BAN WOULD BE DELAYED AND THAT INSTEAD THEY WOULD FIRST FOCUS ON REGULATIONS RELATED TO EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY (EPR) AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY. IN RESPONSE, OCEANA LAUNCHED A REPORT ENTITLED "DROWNING IN PLASTIC: ENDING CANADA'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE GLOBAL PLASTIC DISASTER" THAT RECEIVED BROAD MEDIA COVERAGE, AND A PETITION CALLING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP THEIR COMMITMENT TO BAN SINGLE-USE PLASTICS WHICH QUICKLY REACHED 100,000 SIGNATURES. WE ALSO CONDUCTED POLLING WHICH FOUND THAT 86 PERCENT OF CANADIANS SUPPORTED A BAN. THESE RESULTS WERE EVEN HIGHER THAN A SIMILAR POLL CONDUCTED BEFORE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HIT. THE MINISTER INCLUDED THE BAN IN A MID-YEAR ANNOUNCEMENT AND COMMITTED TO HAVING REGULATIONS IN PLACE BY THE END OF 2021. CHILE HABITAT PROTECTION - LA HIGUERA: OCEANA HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO DEFEAT PLANNED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN THIS ECOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT AREA, WHICH IS HOME TO 80 PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S HUMBOLDT PENGUIN POPULATION AND A VITAL HABITAT FOR BLUE WHALES, HUMPBACK WHALES, CHILEAN SEA OTTERS, SEABIRDS AND OTHER ENDANGERED AND RARE SPECIES. FISHING OF LOCO (CHILEAN ABALONE) ACCOUNTS FOR 80 PERCENT OF THE LOCAL ECONOMY. WE ARE FIGHTING TO HAVE A NEW MPA DECLARED TO PROVIDE PERMANENT PROTECTION. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL COURT VICTORIES AS WELL AS SETBACKS RELATED TO THE PUERTO CRUZ GRANDE PROJECT, THE LATEST WAS A DECISION AGAINST OCEANA BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPERINTENDENCE IN SEPTEMBER. WE ARE NOW APPEALING THAT DECISION WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL COURT AND IF DEFEATED, WILL PUSH ON TO THE SUPREME COURT. - JUAN FERNANDEZ: AFTER WINNING AN MPA TOGETHER WITH THE JUAN FERNANDEZ FISHERMEN, THE FISHERS HAVE COME TO VIEW OUR STAFF AS TRUSTED ALLIES AND TURN TO US OFTEN FOR SUPPORT. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TO ENSURE THAT THEIR WISHES ARE REPRESENTED IN THE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THEIR MPA, BY MAKING SURE THEY ARE PART OF THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS. WE ARE ALSO SUPPORTING THE JUAN FERNANDEZ FISHERMEN TO DEVELOP ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF GETTING INCOME, SO THEY ARE NOT COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON LOBSTER. AS A RESULT, THEY ARE BUILDING A FISH PROCESSING PLANT. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE A TIMELY DECISION BECAUSE CHINESE DEMAND FOR THE JUAN FERNANDEZ LOBSTER HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. - KATALALIXAR: THE PROPOSAL PROCESS TO RECLASSIFY THE 20,000 KM2 KATALALIXAR AREA AS A PARK, CHILE'S STRONGEST PROTECTION, ADVANCED WHEN CHILE'S PROTECTED AREA SERVICE (CONAF) FORMALLY REQUESTED THAT THE REGIONAL AUTHORITIES BEGIN THE PROCESS OF RECLASSIFICATION. THIS WILL PROTECT THIS FRAGILE ECOSYSTEM FROM INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. OUR PLANNED MAY EXPEDITION WITH THE KAWESQAR, WHO ARE THE LOCAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, TO DOCUMENT THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE OF THE AREA WAS CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19. WE ARE DRAFTING THE CULTURAL JUSTIFICATION FOR STRENGTHENED PROTECTIONS AT THE REQUEST OF THE KAWESQAR COMMUNITY, BASED ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AREA TO THIS INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY. ONCE WE CONDUCT THE EXPEDITION AND ANALYZE AND INCORPORATE THE DATA, THE PROTECTION PROPOSAL WILL BE COMPLETE. PROTECT BROWN KELP BROWN KELP IS NOW THE LARGEST ARTISANAL "FISHERY" IN CHILE, WITH MORE THAN 6,000 FISHERMEN AND OVER 160,000 TONS OF LANDINGS, VALUED AT $269 MILLION USD. A RECENT TEN-FOLD INCREASE IN KELP EXTRACTION HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY DECLINES IN OTHER FISHERIES, AMONG THEM COMMON HAKE, AS DEMERSAL FISHERMEN SEEK ALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOODS AND ECONOMIC STABILITY. THE BROWN KELP IS USED LOCALLY, NATIONALLY AND IS EXPORTED TO COUNTRIES INCLUDING CHINA AND JAPAN WHERE IT IS USED FOR COSMETICS AND AS A FOOD STABILIZER. BROWN KELP IS MANAGED AS A FISHERY UNDER CHILEAN LAW WITH MANAGEMENT BASED ON REGIONAL-SCALE PLANS. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE LACK OF MONITORING AND COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT PLANS AND EDUCATION OF FISHERMEN IN THIS RELATIVELY NEW EXTRACTED RESOURCE, KELP IS NOW CONSIDERED HIGHLY OVEREXPLOITED AND VERY CLOSE TO COLLAPSE. IF KELP DISAPPEARS, NOT ONLY WILL FISHERS LOSE A VALUABLE SOURCE OF INCOME, MANY WILL RETURN TO EXPLOITING FISHERIES THAT WE ARE WORKING TO REBUILD. THIS WILL HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE BIODIVERSITY OF DEMERSAL FISHERIES SPECIES AND ON THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LIVELIHOODS OF FISHERMEN. WE HAVE BEEN GATHERING EXTENSIVE MISSING DATA THAT IS NECESSARY AS A FOUNDATION TO BASE ANY PLAN FOR SCIENCE-BASED MANAGEMENT OF THIS FISHERY. WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED A REPORT WE COMMISSIONED ON KELP THAT PROVIDES A BASIS TO START BUILDING A PROPOSAL FOR A MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THIS FISHERY. THE REPORT DETAILED THE MARKET CHAIN FOR KELP, GOVERNMENT MONITORING GAPS, SCIENTIFIC GAPS AND REGULATION GAPS FOR KELP COMMERCE. REDUCE ANTIBIOTIC USE IN SALMON AQUACULTURE OCEANA HAS BEEN CAMPAIGNING FOR MANY YEARS TO BRING TRANSPARENCY TO SALMON FARMING PRACTICES IN CHILE AND TO REDUCE THE SPREAD OF SALMON AQUACULTURE. WE ACHIEVED OUR 2020 GOAL EARLIER IN THE YEAR WHEN WE PERSUADED THE GOVERNMENT TO DECLARE THAT NO NEW PERMITS WILL BE GRANTED FOR SALMON FARMS IN THE AYSN REGION OF PATAGONIA. SINCE THEN, OUR PROPOSED LEGISLATION ON TRANSPARENCY, WHICH WILL MAKE IT MANDATORY FOR SALMON FARMERS TO DISCLOSE THEIR USE OF ANTIBIOTICS AND ANTI-PARASITE PRODUCTS, HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE SENATE'S COMMISSION OF FISHERIES, AND IS IN LINE TO BE VOTED ON BY THE FULL SENATE IN 2021. WE ALSO MANAGED TO INTRODUCE PROVISIONS THAT SANCTION SALMON ESCAPES THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME WILL DESIGNATE THIS AS ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE UNDER THE LEGISLATION. GETTING THIS LAW WILL PROTECT THE SIGNIFICANT WINS WE HAVE HAD IN MAKING SALMON FARMING IN CHILE A CLEANER AND MORE TRANSPARENT INDUSTRY. LIMIT SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IN JULY 2020, THE CHILEAN SENATE UNANIMOUSLY VOTED IN FAVOR OF A LAW, REFLECTING OCEANA'S RECOMMENDATIONS, TO BAN SINGLE-USE PLASTICS NATIONALLY. THE PROPOSED LAW, ONE OF THE MOST AMBITIOUS IN THE WORLD, ESTABLISHES THAT ALL FOOD SERVICES WILL BE FORBIDDEN FROM PROVIDING ANY PLASTIC CUP, MUG, UTENSIL, STRAW, PLATE, CONTAINER, TRAY OR SACHET. THE BILL ALSO REGULATES DISPOSABLE PLASTIC BOTTLES AND REQUIRES MAJOR CHANGES IN THE MANUFACTURING OF PLASTIC BOTTLES: 25 PERCENT RECYCLED CONTENT BY 2025; 50 PERCENT BY 2030; 55 PERCENT BY 2040; AND 70 PERCENT BY 2050. THE BILL WILL NOW BE REVIEWED BY THE COMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. ONCE APPROVED, THIS PLASTICS BILL WILL GRADUALLY COME INTO FORCE WITHIN THREE YEARS OF BEING ENACTED INTO LAW. WE ARE CAMPAIGNING FOR ITS ENACTMENT BY THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2021. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | EUROPE IN EARLY 2021, OCEANA RELEASED ITS UK FISHERIES AUDIT, WHICH PAINTED A DISTURBING PICTURE OF THE STATE OF UK FISH STOCKS. ONLY 36 PERCENT OF THE 104 AUDITED STOCKS WERE KNOWN TO BE HEALTHY IN TERMS OF STOCK SIZE AND ONLY 38 PERCENT SUSTAINABLY EXPLOITED. OF THE TOP 10 MOST ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT FISH STOCKS FOR THE UK, SIX ARE OVERFISHED OR THEIR STOCK BIOMASS IS AT A CRITICAL LEVEL: 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 KNOWN TO BE 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 IS NOW CALLING ON THE UK GOVERNMENT TO STOP OVERFISHING AND LEAD THE WAY IN SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES BY SETTING CATCH LIMITS IN LINE WITH SCIENCE. IN EARLY 2021, OCEANA REACHED A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE IN OUR CAMPAIGN TO REDUCE ILLEGAL FISHING BY IMPROVING MONITORING OF SMALL-SCALE VESSELS WHEN THE EU FISHERIES COMMITTEE VOTED ON THE FUTURE FISHERIES CONTROL REGULATION. TAKING AN ENORMOUS STEP FORWARD, THEY VOTED IN FAVOR OF REQUIRING VESSEL MONITORING SYSTEM (VMS) TRACKERS FOR ALL EU VESSELS, INCLUDING THE MORE THAN 49,000 SMALL-SCALE VESSELS OPERATING IN THE EU. IN ADDITION, ELECTRONIC CATCH REPORTING WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ALL EU VESSELS REGARDLESS OF THEIR SIZE, SOMETHING THAT WAS CURRENTLY ONLY REQUIRED FOR VESSELS FROM 12 METERS ONWARDS. THE FISHERIES COMMITTEE ALSO REQUIRED MEMBER STATES TO ANNUALLY PUBLISH THEIR EFFORTS TO CONTROL FISHING ACTIVITIES AND TO MAKE PUBLIC THE NUMBER OF INSPECTIONS, VIOLATIONS, AND THE FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS TO CONFIRMED INFRINGEMENTS. MEMBER STATES ARE NOW REQUIRED TO SET UP DIGITAL TRACEABILITY SYSTEMS THAT WOULD PROVIDE KEY INFORMATION FOR AUTHORITIES ON ALL SEAFOOD PRODUCTS INCLUDING PROCESSED AND PREPARED PRODUCTS, SUCH AS CANNED TUNA, WHICH ARE CURRENTLY EXCLUDED. FISH RECOVERY AND SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT ON DECEMBER 24, 2020, WITH JUST ONE WEEK BEFORE THE EXPIRY OF THE BREXIT TRANSITION PERIOD AND UNDER ADDITIONAL PRESSURE FROM COVID-19, THE EU AND THE UK REACHED AN AGREEMENT ON THE EU-UK TRADE AND COOPERATION AGREEMENT (TCA). THE NEW AGREEMENT INCLUDES SUSTAINABILITY PROVISIONS LIKE FISHING TO MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD (MSY), MINIMIZING ECOSYSTEM IMPACT, IMPROVING SELECTIVITY AND REDUCING UNWANTED BYCATCH, AND COMBATING IUU. THE AGREEMENT ON FISHERIES ALSO PROVIDES PROMISING WORDING AGAINST SETTING UNILATERAL QUOTAS BEYOND SCIENTIFIC ADVICE. THE FISHERIES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE EU AND THE UK IS A POSITIVE FIRST STEP FOR THEIR SHARED MARINE ECOSYSTEMS. OCEANA IS NOW URGING BOTH THE EU AND THE UK TO IMPLEMENT THE DEAL AND PUT AN END TO OVERFISHING, BY JOINTLY SETTING CATCH LIMITS FOR 2021 THAT ABIDE BY THE BEST AVAILABLE SCIENTIFIC ADVICE. ALSO, IN DECEMBER, EU FISHERIES MINISTERS REACHED AN AGREEMENT ON NORTHEAST ATLANTIC TOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCHES (TACS) FOR STOCKS THAT ARE EXCLUSIVELY IN EU WATERS AND WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN FISHING EFFORT RESTRICTIONS. AROUND 65 PERCENT OF THE NE ATLANTIC TACS WERE SET IN LINE WITH SCIENTIFIC ADVICE, WHICH IS INSUFFICIENT TO MEET THE EU LEGAL COMMITMENT TO END OVERFISHING BY 2020 UNDER THE COMMON FISHERIES POLICY (CFP). ADDITIONALLY, THE COUNCIL UNILATERALLY SET OVER 120 PROVISIONAL TACS FOR SHARED STOCKS WITH THIRD COUNTRIES (MAINLY THE UK AND NORWAY) THAT WILL APPLY DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2021 TO ENSURE CONTINUATION OF FISHING ACTIVITY UNTIL INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS ON THESE STOCKS ARE CONCLUDED. FOR MOST STOCKS, THESE TACS ARE A ROLL-OVER OF 25 PERCENT OF THE 2020 TAC, BUT TACS HAVE BEEN INCREASED FOR SOME PELAGIC STOCKS LIKE MACKEREL, BLUE WHITING AND HORSE MACKEREL. FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN, FISHERIES MINISTERS AGREED TO REDUCE FISHING EFFORT (DAYS AT SEA) FOR BOTTOM TRAWLERS IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN BY 7.5 PERCENT, WHICH WILL BE ADDED TO A 10 PERCENT REDUCTION ADOPTED LAST YEAR. THIS DECISION IS IN LINE WITH THE MULTIANNUAL PLAN FOR DEMERSAL FISHERIES IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN. NEVERTHELESS, OCEANA CONSIDERS THAT THE REDUCTION IN FISHING EFFORT FOR 2021 IS INSUFFICIENT, GIVEN THE DIRE STATUS OF DEMERSAL FISH STOCKS IN THE AREA AND SCIENTIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS TO REDUCE FISHING MORTALITY OF SOME STOCKS BY 40-80 PERCENT. OCEANA ISSUED A PRESS RELEASE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH THAT RESULTED IN EXTENSIVE MEDIA COVERAGE, WITH ARTICLES FROM VARIOUS COUNTRIES ACROSS EUROPE INCLUDING FRANCE 24, THE BRUSSELS-BASED PRESS AGENCY AGENCE EUROPE, AGENCIA EFE, AND INTERVIEWS WITH SPANISH RADIO STATIONS. OCEANA ALSO PARTICIPATED IN AN NGO PRESS BRIEFING ON DECEMBER 14, 2020, TO PROVIDE BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO MEDIA ON THE FISHERIES MINISTERS DECISION ON FISHING OPPORTUNITIES FOR 2021. HABITAT CAMPAIGN IN 2020, OCEANA PUBLISHED A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE EU MEDITERRANEAN FISHERIES REGULATION (1967/2006), SHOWING OVERALL WEAK IMPLEMENTATION OF PROTECTIONS IN SENSITIVE MARINE HABITATS. OUR ANALYSIS FOCUSED ON THE PROTECTION OF SEAGRASS, CORALLIGENOUS AND MAERL BED HABITATS AND FOUND A TOTAL OF 7,600 HOURS OF TRAWLING IN 2019 OVER THESE HABITATS, WITH ITALY REPRESENTING TWO THIRDS OF THIS, FOLLOWED BY MALTA. DATA ACCESSED BY OCEANA ALSO SHOWED VERY FEW FISHERIES PROTECTED AREAS (FPAS) HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED, DESPITE THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW. OCEANA IS URGING THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION AND EU MEMBER STATES TO FOLLOW A MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH TO BETTER PROTECT SENSITIVE MEDITERRANEAN HABITATS BY CREATING BROAD-SCALE TRAWL-FREE AREAS IN COASTAL AREAS, WHICH WOULD DELIVER A TRIPLE WIN FOR ARTISANAL LOW-IMPACT FISHERS, MARINE BIODIVERSITY AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE. SEAGRASS, CORALLIGENOUS AND MAERL BEDS CREATE COMPLEX HABITATS THAT OFFER SHELTER TO VARIOUS MARINE ORGANISMS, ESPECIALLY JUVENILE FISH, ENABLING THEM TO REST AND GROW SAFELY. OUR ANALYSIS SHOWS BOTTOM-TRAWLING OCCURRING OVER THESE SENSITIVE HABITATS, INCLUDING INSIDE THE COASTAL ZONE WHERE SUCH FISHING IS NOT PERMITTED UNDER THE MEDITERRANEAN REGULATION. IN ADDITION, DESPITE A REQUIREMENT TO DESIGNATE ADDITIONAL FPAS TO PROTECT SENSITIVE HABITATS, MANY OF THE FPAS REPORTED BY MEMBER STATES HAD IN FACT ALREADY BEEN DESIGNATED PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE REGULATION. SOME ITALIAN FPAS, NOTABLY IN THE NORTHERN ADRIATIC SEA, SHOWED NO ENFORCEMENT OF RULES AT ALL, WITH ILLEGAL TRAWLING OCCURRING INSIDE THEM. TO ADD TO THIS, THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION'S LAX ENFORCEMENT HAS GIVEN EU MEMBER STATES TOO MUCH DISCRETION WHEN DEVELOPING NATIONAL MANAGEMENT PLANS AND OFTEN DISREGARDED SCIENTIFIC CONCERNS RAISED BY THE SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC COMMITTEE FOR FISHERIES (STECF). OCEANA STRESSES THE NEED TO STEP-UP IMPLEMENTATION AND COMPLIANCE, ESPECIALLY AS THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA IS THE MOST OVERFISHED SEA IN THE WORLD. WE ALSO CALL ON THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FPAS AND INITIATE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST EU MEMBER STATES THAT HAVE NOT DESIGNATED ANY, OR THAT FAIL TO ENFORCE MANAGEMENT RULES WITHIN THEM. IN EARLY MAY, OCEANA ALSO RELEASED A REPORT PROFILING 15 BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOTS THAT SHOULD BE PROTECTED, BASED ON DATA COLLECTED DURING OCEANA'S 15 YEARS OF EXPEDITIONS IN EUROPEAN WATERS. THIS REPORT WAS DISSEMINATED TO KEY ENVIRONMENT MINISTRIES, URGING THEM TO MAKE USE OF OCEANA'S DATA TO PROTECT BIODIVERSITY IN THEIR WATERS. WE ALSO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT MPA DESIGNATION PROCESSES THAT HAVE DRAWN ON OUR DATA, IN THE SOUTHERN TRENCH (UK), THE DANISH PART OF THE NORTH SEA (DENMARK), BORKUM REEF (THE NETHERLANDS) AS WELL AS VARIOUS SITES IN SPAIN. MEXICO TRANSPARENCY OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING HISTORICAL VESSEL TRACKING DATA (2012-2019) FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND UPLOADING IT TO GLOBAL FISHING WATCH (GFW) FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE ALSO GAINED SIGNIFICANT FISHING INDUSTRY SUPPORT FOR THE ONGOING RELEASE OF THE DATA TO GFW AND WE DEMONSTRATED THE VALUE OF VESSEL TRACKING THROUGH THE RELEASE OF A REPORT HIGHLIGHTING FOREIGN-VESSEL ACTIVITY WITHIN MEXICO'S EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE (EEZ). UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CONVINCE THE GOVERNMENT TO PUBLISH ITS DATA ON A CONTINUAL BASIS, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE FURTHER TRANSPARENCY INTO THE ACTIVITIES OF THE FISHING FLEET. FURTHER PROGRESS ON THIS FRONT HAS BEEN CHALLENGING DUE TO THE PANDEMIC AND CHANGING ROLES WITH THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT FOR MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE OF ILLEGAL FISHING ACTIVITIES. STILL, WE HAVE DEVELOPED VERY POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE STAFF OF THE FISHERIES AGENCY, POSITIONING US FOR FUTURE GAINS TOWARD ACHIEVING THIS GOAL. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | FISHERIES REBUILDING SPURRED BY OCEANA'S 2019 SEAFOOD FRAUD REPORT, CONAPESCA, THE NATIONAL FISHERIES AUTHORITY, FOLLOWED THROUGH ON ITS COMMITMENT TO CONVENE AN INTER-AGENCY WORKING GROUP TO CREATE A SEAFOOD TRACEABILITY RULE. A DRAFT RULE CONTAINING SEVERAL OF OCEANA'S RECOMMENDATIONS CAME OUT OF THE GROUP'S FIRST MEETING, IN DECEMBER 2019. WE HAVE JOINED ALL SESSIONS OF THE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE AND HAVE PUSHED FOR A FULL-CHAIN, ELECTRONIC AND UNIQUE TRACEABILITY SYSTEM THAT APPLIES TO AS MANY FISHERIES AS POSSIBLE, PRIORITIZING HIGH-VOLUME AND HIGH-VALUE FISHERIES. WE HAVE BUILT ALLIANCES WITH THE INDUSTRY THROUGH THIS PROCESS, MAINLY WITH EXPORTERS THAT REQUIRE BETTER AND MORE RELIABLE TRACEABILITY SYSTEMS. SOME OF THE EXPORTERS ALREADY HAVE ADVANCED SYSTEMS BUT LACK THE GOVERNMENT'S INVOLVEMENT, WHICH THEY WOULD WELCOME TO CONVEY A CLEAR SIGN OF THE LEGALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT. PERU HABITAT PROTECTION OCEANA HAS BEEN WORKING TO GAIN THE DESIGNATION OF A NEW MPA IN THE NAZCA RIDGE IN PERU. THE FINAL STAKEHOLDER MEETING FOR THIS MPA WAS COMPLETED IN 2020 AND WITH IT, THE FINAL VERSION OF THE DESIGNATION REPORT WAS FINALLY CLOSED. FROM HERE, THE REPORT NEEDS FINAL APPROVAL OF THE MULTISECTORAL COMMISSION THAT WAS CREATED TO OVERSEE THE MPA DESIGNATION PROCESS AND BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL OF PERU'S PROTECTED AREA SERVICE REMAIN BEFORE IT IS SENT TO CABINET. ONCE THERE, IT SHOULD TAKE ONE TO THREE WEEKS FOR APPROVAL AND PRESIDENTIAL SIGNATURE. THIS NEW MPA WILL PROTECT MARINE BIODIVERSITY IN A CRITICAL ECOSYSTEM IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN. DETER ILLEGAL FISHING WE ARE ADVANCING THIS CAMPAIGN ON SEVERAL LEVELS: - WE ARE SUPPORTING CUSTOMS IN SEIZING TONS OF ILLEGAL SHARK PARTS FROM ENDANGERED SPECIES; - WE CONTINUE TO LEAD TRAININGS FOR THE GOVERNMENT ON THE IDENTIFICATION AND REGULATIONS SURROUNDING ILLEGAL SHARK PARTS; - WE DEVELOPED A FIRST-EVER GUIDE TO SHARK TRUNKS WHICH IS BEING USED BY CUSTOMS AND OTHER AUTHORITIES ALONG WITH OUR GUIDE TO SHARK FINS; - WE ARE WORKING WITH NGOS IN ECUADOR, THE SOURCE OF THE ILLEGAL TRADE IN SHARK PARTS THAT COMES THROUGH PERU; - WE ARE COLLABORATING WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL ATTORNEYS OFFICE ON CITES COMPLIANCE FOR THE EXPORT OF ENDANGERED FISH SPECIES OR ITS PARTS; - WE ARE WORKING WITH THE UN OFFICE OF DRUGS AND CRIME ON DETERRING THE ILLEGAL TRADE OF WILDLIFE IN PERU. IN TWO YEARS, OCEANA HAS HELPED TO MOVE PERU FROM ITS POSITION AS THE LARGEST EXPORTER OF SHARK FINS IN THE AMERICAS TO A LEADER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ILLEGAL TRAFFICKING OF FINS, AND THE GOVERNMENT HAS COME TO RELY HEAVILY ON OUR ADVICE AND SUPPORT. IN 2020, THE PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN THREE ADDITIONAL ILLEGAL FISH PROCESSING PLANTS, BRINGING THE TOTAL TO EIGHT CLOSED PLANTS. ALL THESE PLANTS HAVE BEEN CLOSED BECAUSE OF OCEANA'S 2019 REPORT MAPPING EVERY ILLEGAL FISHMEAL PLANT IN PERU (BOTH FREESTANDING AND PART OF LEGAL FISH PROCESSING PLANTS) AND DETAILS ABOUT THESE PLANTS' OPERATIONS. IN PERU, ILLEGAL FISH CANNING HAS INCREASED DURING THE PANDEMIC, ESPECIALLY FOR TUNA, AND WE ARE PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE TO PERU'S ENVIRONMENTAL POLICE TASK FORCE AND TO ENVIRONMENTAL ATTORNEYS TO ADDRESS THIS NEW PROBLEM. THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICE HAVE NEWLY BECOME INVOLVED IN SHUTTING DOWN ILLEGAL FISH PROCESSING SINCE THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT SEES THIS AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY. BENEFITTING BOTH OF OUR IUU CAMPAIGNS, OCEANA PRESENTED ARGUMENTS TO THE PERUVIAN CONGRESS TO INCLUDE ILLEGAL FISHING IN AN ORGANIZED CRIMES LAW, AND TO INCLUDE STRONGER PENALTIES AND RESOURCES TO FIGHT ILLEGAL FISHING ACTIVITIES. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL ATTORNEYS OFFICE AT THEIR REQUEST ON THE VALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMES AND TO HELP THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND COLLATERAL ILLEGAL PRACTICES LINKED TO ILLEGAL FISHING, SUCH AS FINNING AND ILLEGAL FISH PROCESSING, TO HELP THEM PREPARE CASES AGAINST THESE ACTIVITIES. PHILIPPINES PROTECT SARDINES/ESTABLISH NATIONAL RULES ON FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREAS OUR MOST SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES IN 2020 OCCURRED WHEN THE SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SIGNED THE NATIONAL SARDINES MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ENDORSED ITS ADOPTION AS A FRAMEWORK FOR THE POLICIES, RESEARCH AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO SARDINES' MANAGEMENT. THE PLAN IS A PRODUCT OF A PARTICIPATORY PROCESS THAT INVOLVED KEY STAKEHOLDERS OF THE SARDINES' INDUSTRY IN THE COUNTRY AND SERVES AS A ROAD MAP FOR THE PROTECTION AND SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF THE SARDINES. THIS IMPORTANT FOOD FISH FOR FILIPINOS IS THREATENED BY OVERFISHING AND ILLEGAL FISHING. STOP ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL FISHING IN MUNICIPAL WATERS AN IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN IN THE PHILIPPINES FOCUSES ON STOPPING ILLEGAL FISHING BY EXPANDING VESSEL MONITORING, SO THAT OFFICIALS CAN TRACK THE MOVEMENTS OF LEGAL FISHERS AND OTHER VESSELS. IN OCTOBER 2020, OCEANA SUCCEEDED IN GETTING THE LONG-AWAITED RULES ON VESSEL MONITORING MEASURES FOR ALL COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS SIGNED BY THE AGRICULTURE SECRETARY. THESE NEW RULES COVER ALL COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS AND REFLECT OCEANA'S PRIORITIES, INCLUDING DELETING THE PROVISION ON SUBSIDIES FOR THE DEVICE AND ACCESS TO DATA FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND ENFORCERS IN MARINE PROTECTED AREAS. THE RULES WILL IMMEDIATELY APPLY TO ALL COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS FROM 30.1 GROSS TONNAGE (GT) AND UP; THOSE WITH 3.1-30 GT HAVE WITHIN ONE YEAR TO COMPLY. OCEANA ALSO HAS SUPPORTED AN ONLINE PLATFORM, CALLED THE KARAGATAN PATROL, WHERE PEOPLE CAN REPORT SUSPECTED ILLEGAL FISHERS. THE PLATFORM HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE SINCE THE PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN WAS IMPLEMENTED IN THE PHILIPPINES. VARIOUS GROUPS HAVE SHARED INFORMATION ON SUSPECTED ILLEGAL FISHING DESPITE THE LIMITATIONS BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE COMMUNITY QUARANTINE DUE TO COVID-19. THESE INCLUDE ARRESTS OF ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL FISHERS, SEIZURES OF SHIPMENTS OF FISH CAUGHT WITH EXPLOSIVES/DYNAMITE AND OTHER FORMS OF ILLEGAL FISHING, AND EVEN THE REVOCATION OF A VESSEL'S FISHING LICENSE. THE KARAGATAN PATROL FACEBOOK GROUP HAS OVER 3,300 MEMBERS AND CONTINUES TO SEE A WEEKLY INCREASE IN MEMBERSHIP. IT HAS PROVEN TO BE A VITAL CONNECTIVE TOOL FOR ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY, PARTICULARLY UNDER THE CURRENT PANDEMIC SITUATION AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE TRANSITIONED TO REMOTE WORK, SINCE IT WAS LAUNCHED IN FEBRUARY 2019, WITH THE LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES OF THE PHILIPPINES. DETER ILLEGAL DUMP AND FILL ACTIVITY IN THE PHILIPPINES, OCEANA HAD BEEN CAMPAIGNING TO STOP THE "RECLAMATION," INCLUDING A DUMP-AND-FILL PROJECT, OF PART OF MANILA BAY FOR A NEW AIRPORT AT BULACAN. THIS PROJECT WOULD COVER MORE THAN 2400 HECTARES OF FOREST LAND (MANGROVES AND WETLANDS) IN THE AREA, IMPACTING NUMEROUS SMALL-SCALE FISHERS AND THEIR FAMILIES THAT RELY ON THE REGION'S MARINE RESOURCES. IN NOVEMBER, AFTER GAINING SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT FROM PARTNERS AND MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, OCEANA FILED SUIT IN THE SUPREME COURT AGAINST THE CORPORATION LEADING THIS DUMP-AND-FILL PROJECT. UNFORTUNATELY, WE RECEIVED UNOFFICIAL WORD SHORTLY AFTER THAT OUR CASE HAD BEEN DISMISSED. WE ARE CURRENTLY DISCUSSING WITH OUR CO-PETITIONERS NEXT STEPS. ONE SIGNIFICANT OUTCOME OF THIS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN THE SUPPORT OF THE FISHERIES BUREAU, WHICH HAS BECOME A STRONG ALLY OF OCEANA IN THIS CAMPAIGN. THE BUREAU HAS PUBLICLY ARTICULATED ITS STUDIES SHOWING THAT MANILA BAY IS A RICH SARDINE SPAWNING GROUND AND MUST BE PROTECTED FROM DESTRUCTIVE PROJECTS SUCH AS DUMP-AND-FILL. IN FEBRUARY 2020, THE FISHERIES BUREAU REFUSED TO GIVE CLEARANCE TO TWO DUMP-AND-FILL PROJECTS IN MANILA BAY, CITING THAT THE PROJECTS' MITIGATION PLANS ARE INADEQUATE TO MITIGATE THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON MARINE ECOSYSTEMS AND THE PROJECT WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE TO RESTORING MARINE LIFE IN MANILA BAY. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | STRENGTHEN CORAL-RICH MARINE PROTECTED AREAS OCEANA HAS SELECTED PANAON ISLAND IN SOUTHERN LEYTE IN THE PHILIPPINES AS THE SITE FOR OUR CORAL-RICH MARINE PROTECTED AREA (MPA). PANAON ISLAND'S WATERS ARE ESTIMATED AT AROUND 25,000-30,000 HECTARES, AND ITS REEF IS CLASSIFIED AS A VERY GOOD CANDIDATE FOR CONSERVATION. IT HAS A HIGH DIVERSITY OF FISH AND CORALS AND THERE ARE SIGNS OF RECOVERY FROM BLAST FISHING IN THE 80S. IT IS A FEEDING GROUNDS FOR WHALE SHARKS, DOLPHINS, SEA TURTLES AND OTHER LARGE MARINE VERTEBRATES. THERE ARE SIGHTINGS OF THE RARE AND ENDANGERED LEATHERBACK TURTLES. FISHERFOLK BENEFIT FROM THE SPILL-OVER EFFECT OF AT LEAST 10 LOCALLY PROTECTED MPAS, AND POLITICAL DYNAMICS AND TOURISM POTENTIAL ARE BOTH GOOD. PROTECTING THIS REGION WILL PREVENT ANY FUTURE EXPLOITATION IN THE SITE AND SAFEGUARD THESE CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEMS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. PRIOR TO THE LOCKDOWN, OCEANA HAD PARTNERED WITH THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF SOUTHERN LEYTE FOR A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION WITH VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE CONSERVATION DIRECTION OF PANAON ISLAND. THIS EVENT HIGHLIGHTED THE GOOD CONDITION OF THE REEFS IN PANAON ISLAND, THE CONSERVATION INITIATIVES OF EACH OF THE LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS, AND THE IMPORTANCE THAT IT GETS HOLISTIC PROTECTION FOR SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT BY HAVING IT DECLARED AS A PROTECTED SEASCAPE. AN ACTIVELY ENGAGED LOCAL COMMUNITY WILL BE AN INVALUABLE ASSET AS THIS CAMPAIGN MOVES FORWARD, AND THE CURRENT GOOD CONDITION OF THE REEF HIGHLIGHTS THE VIABILITY OF THIS LOCATION TO ENDURE AND THRIVE UNDER THE MORE ROBUST PROTECTIONS WE ARE FIGHTING FOR. IN LATE 2020, OCEANA WAS ABLE TO CONDUCT AN EXPEDITION IN THE AREA TO SECURE CRITICAL BIOLOGICAL, ECOLOGICAL, AND SOCIAL DATA THAT WILL ULTIMATELY INFORM OUR FUTURE ADVOCACY EFFORTS. FISH IN NUTRITION SYSTEMS IN 2020, OCEANA COMPLETED ITS FIRST PHASE OF RESEARCH ON THE LINKAGES BETWEEN HEALTHY FISHERIES AND HEALTHY COMMUNITIES. UNDER OCEANA'S FISH IN NUTRITION SYSTEMS (FINS), WE COMMISSIONED TWO RESEARCH CONTRACTS WITH KEY SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS IN NUTRITION, FISHERIES, AND FOOD POLICY. THESE CONSULTANCIES REVIEWED DOCUMENTED CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FOOD SECURITY AND FISHERIES POLICIES AND PROVIDED RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE ASSOCIATED FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY OUTCOMES. - OUR FIRST CONSULTANCY, BASED OUT OF THE FISHERIES ECONOMICS RESEARCH UNIT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, COMPLETED A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE ON FOOD SECURITY AND FISHERIES MANAGEMENT POLICY LINKAGES. AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE NINE RESEARCH QUESTIONS COVERED IS "WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS THAT POOR AND VULNERABLE GROUPS FACE TO INCREASING AND IMPROVING FISH CONSUMPTION." ONE OF SEVERAL KEY TAKEAWAYS IS THAT POLICIES FOCUSED ON INCREASING FISHERIES PRODUCTION MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY COMPLEMENTARY POLICIES FOCUSED ON, E.G., EQUITABLE ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES, PROMOTING SEAFOOD CONSUMPTION, REDUCING FOOD WASTE AND LOSS, AND BUILDING RESILIENCE TO FUTURE SHOCKS, IF THEY ARE TO SUPPORT FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY FOR THE POOR AND VULNERABLE. - THE SECOND CONSULTANCY WITH A TEAM BASED AT THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CENTRE FOR OCEAN RESOURCES AND SECURITY, UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG, CONDUCTED A DEEP DIVE INTO FISHERY AND FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY POLICIES FOR 15 SELECTED COUNTRIES. THE RESEARCH FINDINGS INCLUDED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BEST PRACTICES LINKING FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND ASSOCIATED PUBLIC HEALTH POLICIES, INCLUDING TYING FOOD SECURITY OBJECTIVES INTO FISHERIES MANAGEMENT, AND INCORPORATING WILD-CAPTURE FISHERIES INTO NATIONAL FOOD SYSTEMS AND FOOD SECURITY DIALOGUES. ONE OF THE KEY TAKEAWAYS IS THAT GOOD POLICY PRACTICE FOR FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY DEMONSTRATES LINKAGES BETWEEN SEAFOOD AND FOOD AND NUTRITION ACROSS MULTIPLE CONTEXTS, RATHER THAN WITHIN A SINGLE CONTEXT, AND PROVIDES A HIGH LEVEL OF DETAIL AND EVIDENCE OF COMMITMENT (E.G., THROUGH CONCRETE MILESTONES TIED TO A SPECIFIC AGENCY, BUDGET ALLOCATION, ETC.) TO IMPLEMENT ACTIONS. FEW POLICY INSTRUMENTS EXAMINED IN THE CASE STUDIES MAKE THE LINK BETWEEN SEAFOOD AND FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY ACROSS THE MULTIPLE CONTEXTS AND ONLY A QUARTER MADE HIGH TO VERY HIGH COMMITMENTS WITH OBJECTIVES LINKED TO PLANS OR CLEAR TARGETS. ONE POSSIBLE PATHWAY IS TO STRENGTHEN EXISTING POLICIES TO SUPPORT THIS CONNECTION BETWEEN SEAFOOD AND FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY. WE HAVE SUMMARIZED KEY FINDINGS AND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE TWO REPORTS AND PLAN TO USE THE INFORMATION TO DETERMINE THE NEXT PHASE OF TARGETED RESEARCH. THE TWO REPORTS INCLUDE POLICY EXAMPLES THAT INTEGRATE FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY OUTCOMES WITH FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND PROVIDE US WITH EXAMPLES AND BEST PRACTICES TO DEVELOP POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS AND CAMPAIGN PROTOTYPES. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | OCEANA'S EFFORTS TO REACH OUT TO COASTAL RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS LEADERS HAS LED TO A GROWING AND GALVANIZED BIPARTISAN OPPOSITION TO EXPANDED DRILLING, MOST NOTABLY FROM BUSINESSES THAT RELY ON HEALTHY OCEANS. THE THREE BUSINESS ALLIANCES THAT OPPOSE OFFSHORE DRILLING ON THE ATLANTIC, PACIFIC AND GULF COASTS - AND WHICH OCEANA HELPED TO CREATE, NOW TOTAL AT LEAST 56,000 BUSINESSES AND 500,000 FISHING FAMILIES. BY THE END OF 2020, MORE THAN 2,200 LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL ELECTED OFFICIALS, INCLUDING GOVERNORS ALONG THE EAST AND WEST COASTS AND MORE THAN 230 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS (A MAJORITY), NOW PUBLICLY OPPOSE EXPANDED OFFSHORE DRILLING AS WELL. IN ADDITION, BY THE END OF 2020, 391 COASTAL MUNICIPALITIES HAD FORMALLY PASSED RESOLUTIONS OPPOSING OFFSHORE DRILLING AND/OR SEISMIC BLASTING. BAN THE SHARK FIN TRADE SHARK POPULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD ARE IN SERIOUS DECLINE, LARGELY DRIVEN BY THE DEMAND FOR THEIR FINS. FINS FROM AS MANY AS 73 MILLION SHARKS END UP IN THE GLOBAL SHARK FIN TRADE EACH YEAR, AND MORE THAN 70 PERCENT OF THE MOST POPULAR SPECIES IN THE FIN TRADE FACE A HIGH OR VERY HIGH THREAT OF EXTINCTION. A NATIONAL TRADE BAN WOULD ENSURE THAT THE UNITED STATES NO LONGER PARTICIPATES IN THE GLOBAL FIN TRADE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE DECLINE OF MANY AT-RISK SHARK SPECIES. UNFORTUNATELY, OCEANA WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL IN EFFORTS TO CHAMPION A NATIONAL SHARK FIN TRADE BAN IN THE U.S. THIS PAST YEAR. RESPONSIBLE FISHING IN 2020, OCEANA WORKED WITH REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS TO SUPPORT THEIR EFFORTS TO INTRODUCE THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC POLLUTION ACT. IF PASSED, THIS LAW WOULD BAN SOME OF THE MOST POLLUTING PLASTICS, INCLUDING CARRYOUT BAGS AND POLYSTYRENE FOAM FOOD AND DRINKWARE, WHILE PROTECTING THE ABILITY OF STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO ENACT MORE STRINGENT STANDARDS AND PUTTING A PAUSE ON BUILDING NEW PLASTIC FACILITIES. MORE THAN 100 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS SPONSORED THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION. IN NOVEMBER, OCEANA RELEASED A NEW REPORT DETAILING THE DEVASTATING IMPACT THAT PLASTIC POLLUTION IS HAVING ON MARINE WILDLIFE. "CHOKED, STRANGLED, DROWNED: THE PLASTICS CRISIS UNFOLDING IN OUR OCEANS" COMPILED DATA FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, ORGANIZATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS THAT MONITOR THE IMPACT OF PLASTIC ON MARINE ANIMALS, AND FOUND EVIDENCE OF NEARLY 1,800 ANIMALS FROM 40 DIFFERENT SPECIES SWALLOWING OR BECOMING ENTANGLED IN PLASTIC OVER THE LAST DECADE. EVEN MORE TROUBLING, ALMOST 90 PERCENT OF THE ANIMALS WERE FROM SPECIES CLASSIFIED AS THREATENED OR ENDANGERED. THE SPECIES IMPACTED WERE MARINE MAMMALS, LIKE WHALES, DOLPHINS, SEALS, SEA LIONS, AND SEA TURTLES; ALL SIX U.S. SPECIES OF WHICH ARE ENDANGERED OR THREATENED WITH EXTINCTION. ALSO, IN 2020, 10 LOCAL COMMUNITIES PASSED POLICIES THAT HELP LIMIT PLASTIC POLLUTION. EIGHT OF THESE POLICIES (FIVE ORDINANCES AND TWO RESOLUTIONS) LIMIT THE SALE AND/OR DISTRIBUTION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC IN HOLLYWOOD (FL), DELRAY BEACH (FL), DANIA BEACH (FL), MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE (FL), TAMPA (FL), MONTGOMERY COUNTY (MD), AND CHARLESTON (SC). THREE ADDITIONAL ORDINANCES, MEANWHILE, IN BOCA RATON, KEY WEST AND SUNNY ISLE FORMALLY OPPOSE FLORIDA'S STATE PREEMPTION LAW THAT RESTRICT CITIES' ABILITIES TO EFFECTIVELY COMBAT THE PLASTIC POLLUTION CRISIS. OUTSIDE OF FLORIDA, THE STATE OF NEW YORK PASSED AN OCEANA-SUPPORTED STATEWIDE BAN ON POLYSTYRENE FOAM THAT WILL PROHIBIT THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF DISPOSABLE FOOD SERVICE CONTAINERS THAT CONTAIN EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE FOAM AND POLYSTYRENE LOOSE FILL PACKAGING MATERIAL BY 2022. |

SUCH STEPS, DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, MIGHT INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, DIVESTITURE OF ADVERSE INTERESTS, RECUSAL FROM CERTAIN DECISIONS, TRANSFER OF ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT (IF A POSITION IS AVAILABLE), CHANGING THE MANAGER FOR ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES, OR, WHEN OTHER OPTIONS ARE NOT FEASIBLE, THE TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OF ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES. EMPLOYEES WHO WISH TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF ANY ENTITY OUTSIDE OCEANA MUST DISCLOSE SUCH PROPOSED ACTIVITY TO OCEANA, WHICH WILL MAKE APPROPRIATE DETERMINATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S GLOBAL CODE OF ETHICS. FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS (NEPOTISM): OCEANA WILL NOT ALLOW A SUPERVISOR/SUBORDINATE RELATIONSHIP TO EXIST BETWEEN FAMILY RELATIVES. SEXUAL/ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS: ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN EMPLOYEES THAT CONSTITUTE AN ACTUAL OR REASONABLY-PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST ARE PROHIBITED. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 13 WHISTLEBLOWING AND REPORTING VIOLATIONS: OCEANA NEEDS AND EXPECTS THE SUPPORT AND COOPERATION OF ITS EMPLOYEES TO ENFORCE ITS POLICIES. EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED, OBSERVED, OR LEARNED ABOUT CONDUCT THEY BELIEVE IS CONTRARY TO OCEANA'S POLICES OR CODE OF ETHICS MUST REPORT SUCH VIOLATIONS (OR POTENTIAL OR SUSPECTED VIOLATIONS). OCEANA PROVIDES TWO WAYS TO REPORT VIOLATIONS. FIRST, VIOLATIONS MAY BE REPORTED THROUGH A REPORTING SYSTEM THAT OCEANA HAS SET UP THROUGH AN ONLINE WEBSITE OR BY CALLING THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED FOR EACH COUNTRY ON THAT WEBSITE. THE SITE IS CONFIDENTIAL, EASY TO USE, AND ALWAYS AVAILABLE. EMPLOYEES HAVE THE OPTION TO DISCLOSE THEIR IDENTITY OR MAKE A REPORT ANONYMOUSLY; HOWEVER, DISCLOSING IDENTITY IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO ENABLE OCEANA TO CONDUCT A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION, ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF A POLICY THAT PROTECTS INDIVIDUALS (FOR EXAMPLE, CONCERNING SEXUAL HARASSMENT OR DISCRIMINATION). ANY REPORT THAT IMPLICATES THE CEO; PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL; OR CFO WILL BE FORWARDED BY THE THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATOR OF THE WEBSITE TO THE CHAIR, VICE CHAIR AND TREASURER OF OCEANA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. SECOND, VIOLATIONS MAY BE REPORTED TO THE APPROPRIATE STAFF PERSON, AS FOLLOWS. THE VIOLATION MUST BE REPORTED TO THE CEO; PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL; CFO; OR GLOBAL DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES, IF THE VIOLATION INVOLVES ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: -SEXUAL OR OTHER HARASSMENT -UNLAWFUL DISCRIMINATION -FINANCIAL MISCONDUCT OR MISREPORTING -BRIBERY OR CORRUPTION -RETALIATION FOR REPORTING ANY VIOLATION IF THE VIOLATION INVOLVES ANY OTHER ISSUE, THE REPORT MUST BE MADE TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: CEO; PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL; CFO; OR GLOBAL DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES; THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER IN CHARGE OF THE COUNTRY OFFICE OR DEPARTMENT; OR THE OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE COUNTRY OFFICE. INVESTIGATION: WHEN AN EMPLOYEE REPORTS A VIOLATION OF THIS CODE, OCEANA WILL INVESTIGATE AND TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION AS WARRANTED UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE STEPS TO BE TAKEN DURING THE INVESTIGATION ARE NOT FIXED IN ADVANCE (EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW), BUT INSTEAD WILL VARY DEPENDING UPON THE NATURE OF THE ALLEGATIONS. SUCH INVESTIGATION WILL REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL TO THE EXTENT CONSISTENT WITH EFFECTIVELY UNDERSTANDING THE FACTS AND TAKING CORRECTIVE MEASURES. RESOLVING THE MATTER: IF OCEANA DETERMINES THAT A VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED, THE COMPANY WILL TAKE APPROPRIATE REMEDIAL ACTION TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. ANY EMPLOYEE DETERMINED BY OCEANA TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A VIOLATION WILL BE SUBJECT TO APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION. IT IS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT THAT EMPLOYEES COOPERATE WITH ALL OCEANA INVESTIGATIONS. IN ADDITION, OCEANA MAY CHOOSE TO TAKE ACTION EVEN IF IT CONCLUDES THAT THE ALLEGED CONDUCT NEITHER VIOLATES OCEANA'S GLOBAL CODE OF ETHICS NOR THE LAW, BUT SUCH CONDUCT WAS IMPERMISSIBLY INTERFERING WITH THE WORK ENVIRONMENT. NO RETALIATION: IT IS A VIOLATION TO RETALIATE AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL WHO REPORTS INCIDENTS THAT HE OR SHE BELIEVES TO BE VIOLATIONS OF OCEANA'S GLOBAL CODE OF ETHICS, OR WHO COOPERATES IN AN INVESTIGATION OF A VIOLATION. RETALIATION IS A SERIOUS VIOLATION AND SHOULD BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY. THE REPORT AND INVESTIGATION OF ALLEGATIONS OF RETALIATION WILL FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH. ANY PERSON FOUND TO HAVE RETALIATED AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL FOR REPORTING DISCRIMINATORY HARASSMENT OR PARTICIPATING IN AN INVESTIGATION OF ALLEGATIONS OF SUCH CONDUCT WILL BE SUBJECT TO APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION. |
