| Desc | INTERNATIONAL:BELIZE- CLEAN ENERGY CAMPAIGN IN DECEMBER 2015, THE GOVERNMENT OF BELIZE ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD PERMANENTLY BAN OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING IN CERTAIN AREAS, INCLUDING THE LENGTH OF THE BELIZE BARRIER REEF RESERVE SYSTEM AND THE WORLD HERITAGE SITES, AND PRIME MINISTER DEAN BARROW PLEDGED A MORATORIUM ON ALL OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING. AFTER INITIALLY PLEDGING TO BAN OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING, THE BELIZEAN GOVERNMENT APPROVED MULTI-BEAM SONAR AND SEISMIC TESTING IN ITS WATERS IN OCTOBER 2016. HOWEVER, AFTER PRESSURE FROM OCEANA AND ITS OCEAN CONSTITUENCY THE BELIZEAN GOVERNMENT WITHDREW ITS APPROVAL OF THE SEISMIC ACTIVITY. THE GOVERNMENT OF BELIZE ISSUED A CLEAR POLITICAL STATEMENT RENOUNCING THEIR PLANS TO DRILL, AND ALL THE OIL EXPLORATION LEASES HAVE BEEN RELINQUISHED OR DEEMED INVALID THERE. FISHERIES CAMPAIGN OCEANA SEEKS TO REDUCE OVERFISHING, STOP WASTEFUL BYCATCH AND DIMINISH DESTRUCTIVE FISHING METHODS THAT UNNECESSARILY KILL MARINE WILDLIFE AND DESTROY MARINE HABITAT. ITS CURRENT FOCUS IS ON TWO CAMPAIGNS THAT AIM TO ACHIEVE A NATIONAL BAN ON GILLNET FISHING AND MINIMUM SIZE LIMITS ON THE FIVE FISH SPECIES AT HIGHEST RISK FROM JUVENILE FISHING. OCEANA CREATED THE FISH RIGHT, EAT RIGHT PROGRAM TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD. ITS PARTNERS INCLUDE THE BELIZE TOURISM BOARD, BELIZE TOURISM INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION, BELIZE FISHERIES DEPARTMENT WILDLIFE CONSERVATION SOCIETY, AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND. OCEANA ALSO OBTAINED THE ENDORSEMENT OF 110 LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND RESORTS THAT DECIDED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM AND HAVE PLEDGED TO ONLY USE SUSTAINABLY CAUGHT FISH. AS A RESULT OF OCEANA'S ADVOCACY, THE BELIZE FISHERIES DEPARTMENT AGREED TO PREPARE A WHITE PAPER ON GILLNET USE IN BELIZEAN WATERS IN OCTOBER 2016. THE DOCUMENT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC OR TO OCEANA DESPITE REPEATED REQUESTS. OCEANA WON THE ENDORSEMENT OF KEY FISHING AND TOURISM ORGANIZATIONS FOR A GILLNET BAN, INCLUDING: THE BELIZE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY, THE BELIZE GAME FISH ASSOCIATION, THE BONEFISH TARPON TRUST, THE BELIZE TOURISM INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION, THE BELIZE COAST GUARD, THE SEA TO SHORE ALLIANCE, AND MARALLIANCE. OCEANA IS ALSO ENDORSED BY CHEF SEAN KUYLEN, A CELEBRATED LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL CHEF. BELIZE WAVEMAKERS OCEANA'S STRONG SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWING ILLUSTRATES OCEANA'S COMMUNITY REACH, ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE 18 TO 34 AGE RANGE WHO ARE POLITICALLY AND SOCIALLY ACTIVE AND CAN VOTE. SOCIAL MEDIA OCEANA'S CURRENT FACEBOOK FOLLOWING IS OVER 17,200, UP 5,000 FOLLOWERS FROM LAST YEAR. THIS FOLLOWING REMAINS SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER THAN SEVERAL KEY NGOS IN BELIZE AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY OF BELIZE, BELIZE TELEMEDIA LIMITED. SIMILARLY, OCEANA HAS APPROXIMATELY 12,900 INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS. TRADITIONAL MEDIA OCEANA BELIZE CREATED VIDEO OF FISHERS PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE FISHING PRACTICES, AND AIRED THEIR MESSAGES ON BOTH TV AND RADIO. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BELIZE COALITION TO SAVE OUR NATURAL HERITAGE, OCEANA ALSO LAUNCHED AN ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNALISM COURSE, IN ORDER TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF ENVIRONMENTAL STORIES ABOUT BELIZE AND TO HIGHLIGHT THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF SAFEGUARDING NATURAL RESOURCES. ANNUAL EVENTS IN 2016, OCEANA CONTINUED TO ENGAGE THE LOCAL POPULATION IN ANNUAL EVENTS, INCLUDING REEF WEEK (A WEEK-LONG SERIES OF EVENTS THAT PROMOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF BELIZE'S REEF), OCEAN HEROES, WHICH RECOGNIZES BELIZEANS AS PROTECTORS OF BELIZE'S MARINE RESOURCES, HANDS ACROSS THE SAND, AND ANNUAL WAVEMAKER RALLIES. GRASSROOTS MOBILIZATION IN 2016, OCEANA LOCAL ORGANIZERS MADE APPROXIMATELY 200 VISITS TO KEY FISHING VILLAGES, INCLUDING: SAN PEDRO, CAYCE CAULKER, BELIZE CITY, SANGRIA, HOPKINS, PLACENTIA, PUNTA GORDO, COROZAL, AND ORANGE WALK. BRAZIL-OCEANA'S GOAL IN BRAZIL IS TO ESTABLISH A MODERN FISHERIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BASED ON SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES. THE HEART OF THE WORK IS OCEANA'S CAMPAIGN TO REQUIRE SCIENCE-BASED RECOVERY PLANS. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR OCEANA IN 2016. RED LIST CAMPAIGN THE BRAZILIAN WILDLIFE RED LISTS WERE THE RESULT OF SIX YEARS OF CAREFUL WORK BY MORE THAN 1,500 EXPERTS, USING THE BEST SCIENCE AVAILABLE AND THE METHODOLOGY DEVELOPED BY THE INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE (IUCN). THE RED LIST HAD BEEN SUSPENDED DUE TO A LAWSUIT FILED BY ENTITIES LINKED TO THE INDUSTRIAL FISHING SECTOR, LEAVING HUNDREDS OF SPECIES INCLUDING WHALE SHARKS, RAYS, SEA HORSES, HAMMERHEAD SHARKS, AND GROUPERS WITH NO PROTECTIONS. BRAZIL'S FEDERAL COURT ISSUED A RULING REESTABLISHING THE RED LIST OF AQUATIC ENDANGERED INVERTEBRATES AND FISHES FOLLOWING PRESSURE FROM OCEANA. THE PRESIDING JUDGE NOTED THAT ECONOMIC INTERESTS OF THE FISHING INDUSTRY CANNOT PREVAIL OVER THE PUBLIC INTEREST OF CONSERVATION. FOLLOWING THE JUNE RULING, THE RED LIST WAS OFFICIALLY REINSTATED IN DECEMBER. RECOVERY PLAN CAMPAIGN OCEANA SEEKS TO GET THE BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT TO APPROVE REGULATION REQUIRING SCIENCE-BASED RECOVERY/MANAGEMENT PLANS. IN DECEMBER 2016, AT THE FIRST MEETING OF THE TUNA FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCIL, OCEANA SECURED THE APPROVAL OF IMPORTANT MARINE CONSERVATION MEASURES. THE MEASURES INCLUDE A FISHING BAN FOR ALL HAMMERHEAD SHARK SPECIES IN BRAZIL'S TUNA FISHERIES; THE MANDATORY USE OF CIRCLE HOOKS IN ALL BRAZILIAN LONGLINE FISHERIES (A REQUIREMENT THAT WILL PROTECT SEA TURTLES AND SHARKS); A REJECTION OF LEASES THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED CHINESE FISHING VESSELS AND PURSE SEINERS TO PARTICIPATE THESE FISHERIES; AND A FORMAL COMMITMENT FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO DEVELOP A MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR TUNA FISHERIES WITHIN SIX MONTHS. BRAZIL ESTABLISHES NEW PROCESSES AND FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCILS THAT WILL INITIATE PLANNING EFFORTS FOR MANAGEMENT AND RECOVERY PLANS FOR EIGHT OVERFISHED SPECIES. TRANSPARENCY CAMPAIGN OCEANS SEEKS TO RESTORE THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR FISHERIES MANAGEMENT DECISIONS, INCLUDING REINSTATING LANDINGS MONITORING FOR AT LEAST ONE STATE OR FISHERY AND NATIONAL LOGBOOK AND OBSERVER PROGRAMS BY 2020. THE BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT IS NOW COLLECTING BASIC FISHERY LANDINGS DATA FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2008, IN PORTS COVERING 40 PERCENT OF THE COUNTRY'S LANDINGS, BY WEIGHT. PROTECT TAINHA CAMPAIGN OCEANA SEEKS TO DEVELOP A SCIENCE-BASED MANAGEMENT PLAN AND CATCH LIMITS IN PLACE FOR TAINHA. PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE 2016 TAINHA SEASON, AND AS A RESULT OF OCEANA'S RECOMMENDATIONS, THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE PUBLISHED CRITERIA THAT PROHIBIT VESSELS FROM FISHING TAINHA THAT FAILED TO PRESENT LOGBOOKS AND/OR TO MAINTAIN THE VESSEL MONITORING SYSTEM IN 2015, AS WELL AS ANY VESSEL THAT OPERATED IN AREAS CLOSED TO FISHING. CHILE-HABITAT PROTECTION OCEANA IS WORKING TO PROTECT AT LEAST 20 PERCENT OF CHILE'S EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE AS MARINE PROTECTED AREAS (MPAS). IN AUGUST 2016 THE CHILEAN GOVERNMENT SIGNED A DECREE ON TO CREATE THE NAZCA-DESVENTURADAS MARINE PARK - THE LARGEST MARINE PARK IN THE AMERICAS AT NEARLY 300,000 SQUARE KILOMETERS. OCEANA CONDUCTED AN EXPEDITION IN LA HIGUERA, AN AREA BETWEEN THE DESVENTURADAS AND JUAN FERN NDEZ ISLANDS, IN OCTOBER/NOVEMBER AS PART OF AN EFFORT TO CREATE A 3,500 SQUARE KILOMETER MARINE PROTECTED AREA. CHILE'S PRESIDENT MICHELLE BACHELET PARTICIPATED IN THE EVENT LAUNCHING THE EXPEDITION. FISHERIES MANAGEMENT OCEANA IS SEEKING TO IMPROVE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN CHILE WITH A FOCUS ON THE RECOVERY OF THE COMMON HAKE AND ANCHOVETA FISHERIES, AND ON HELPING CONTROL ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED, AND UNREGULATED FISHING. THE CHILEAN GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED ITS FIRST-EVER FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PLAN, FOR COMMON HAKE, THE SECOND LARGEST FISHERY IN CHILE. THE PLAN WILL REDUCE OVERFISHING OF HAKE ON WHICH MORE THAN 7,000 ARTISANAL FISHERS DEPEND FOR FOOD AND LIVELIHOODS. OCEANA HAS STRONGLY ADVOCATED FOR FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PLANS IN CHILE SINCE THE COUNTRY'S HISTORIC FISHERIES ACT REFORM IN 2013, WHICH OCEANA WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN BRINGING ABOUT. SALMON FARMING THE CHILEAN GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED A DENSITY REDUCTION PLAN FOR THE COUNTRY'S SALMON INDUSTRY, IMPROVING SANITARY CONDITIONS AND REDUCING THE RAPID SPREAD OF DISEASES AND PARASITES. OCEANA WAS INVITED TO PRESENT BEFORE THE COMMISSION OF ENVIRONMENT IN THE CHILEAN SENATE REGARDING MALPRACTICE IN SALMON AQUACULTURE. EUROPE- TRANSPARENCY OCEANA AIMS TO IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE FISHERIES SECTOR IN EUROPE. THE FISHERIES COMMITTEE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT VOTED TO SUPPORT TRANSPARENCY IN EU FISHING OPERATIONS OUTSIDE EU WATERS, WHICH ACCOUNT FOR 28 PERCENT OF TOTAL EU CATCHES. THE IMPROVED REGULATION PROMISES TO BE A MAJOR STEP FORWARD IN IMPROVING THE MANAGEMENT OF ALL EUROPEAN-FLAGGED VESSELS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. AS A RESULT OF OCEANA'S ADVOCACY, SPANISH GUARDIA CIVIL, INTERPOL AND EUROPOL JOINED FORCES ON ILLEGAL FISHING IN A JOINT ACTION AGAINST POACHERS IN ANTARCTIC WATERS. | Desc |

| Desc | UNITED STATES: OCEANA IS WORKING ON SCIENCE-BASED POLICY CAMPAIGNS THAT ADDRESS RESPONSIBLE FISHING, CLIMATE AND ENERGY, AND SEAFOOD FRAUD. RESPONSIBLE FISHING OCEANA'S RESPONSIBLE FISHING CAMPAIGN SEEKS TO WIN LONG-TERM, SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF U.S. FISHERIES. OCEANA IS WORKING TO REDUCE BYCATCH OF FISH AND PROTECTED OR ENDANGERED SPECIES; TO PROTECT THE HABITATS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR NURSING, SPAWNING, FEEDING, AND OTHER FUNCTIONS; AND TO GET SCIENCE-BASED QUOTAS FOR COMMERCIAL SPECIES AS WELL AS FOR SPECIES THAT ARE NECESSARY FOOD-FISH FOR COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT SPECIES. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE SAMPLES OF OCEANA'S ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2016 IN EACH OF THESE AREAS.BYCATCH THE UNINTENTIONAL CATCH OF MARINE SPECIES IN FISHING FOR TARGETED SPECIES (BYCATCH) UNDERMINES SUCCESSFUL FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND WASTES THE OCEAN'S LIVING MARINE RESOURCES. OCEANA HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SETTING SCIENTIFICALLY-BASED QUOTAS AND PROTECTING HABITAT, LEAVING BYCATCH AS THE GREATEST REMAINING BARRIER TO RESTORING U.S. FISHERIES AND ECOSYSTEMS. THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ASSOCIATION (NOAA) FISHERIES CLOSED THE PACIFIC LOGGERHEAD CONSERVATION AREA IN RESPONSE TO OCEANA AND ITS PARTNERS' REQUEST TO PROTECT ENDANGERED LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES. THESE SEA TURTLES BROUGHT INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WATERS BY UNUSUALLY WARM OCEAN WATERS, RISK DROWNING FROM ENTANGLEMENTS IN MILE-LONG NETS. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT RELEASED A PROPOSED RULE TO REQUIRE TURTLE EXCLUDER DEVICES (TEDS) IN U.S. SKIMMER, PUSHER-HEAD AND WING NET SHRIMP TRAWLS, WHICH WOULD SAVE AS MANY AS 2,500 ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SEA TURTLES EVERY YEAR. THE PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL VOTED LAST FALL TO SET HARD BYCATCH CAPS FOR NINE SPECIES - INCLUDING SEVEN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF SEA TURTLES AND MARINE MAMMALS. THESE CAPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IMPLEMENTED THIS YEAR, AND WILL CAUSE THE CLOSURE OF THE FISHERY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FISHING SEASON IF TOO MANY ENDANGERED SPECIES ARE CAUGHT OVER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD. PROTECTING HABITAT OCEANA'S FOCUS IS ON PROTECTING IMPORTANT PLACES, INCLUDING NURSERY AND SPAWNING GROUNDS. THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE RELEASED A STRONG RULE TO PROTECT MORE THAN 35,000 SQUARE MILES OF OCEAN HABITAT OFF THE U.S. ATLANTIC COAST. THIS FOLLOWS THE ACTION TAKEN LAST YEAR BY THE MID-ATLANTIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL TO PROHIBIT DESTRUCTIVE BOTTOM TRAWLING IN THIS AREA RICH WITH DEEP-SEA CORALS, SEA CANYONS AND SEAMOUNTS. THIS PROGRESS IS THE RESULT OF A 13-YEAR PROCESS IN WHICH OCEANA HAS BEEN ENGAGED TO IDENTIFY AND CONSERVE CORALS. OCEANA CONDUCTED AN EXPEDITION IN THE U.S. PACIFIC, OFF THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, FOCUSING ON SITES THAT IT HAS PROPOSED TO BE PROTECTED FROM BOTTOM TRAWLING. OCEANA EXAMINED CORALS, SPONGES, ROCKY REEFS, UNDERWATER MOUNTAINS AND CANYONS, AND OTHER TYPES OF DEEP SEA ARCHITECTURE TO DEPTHS UP TO 435 METERS (1,427 FEET) BELOW THE OCEAN SURFACE. SCIENCE-BASED CATCH LIMITS ALTHOUGH SCIENTIFICALLY-BASED QUOTAS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW, MANAGERS ARE NOT SETTING SUFFICIENT LIMITS FOR SOME FISHERIES. OCEANA'S WORK IS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT QUOTAS ARE SET IN A WAY THAT MAINTAINS HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT FACTORS SUCH AS PREDATOR-PREY RELATIONSHIPS AND POPULATION DYNAMICS. THE OREGON FISH AND WILDLIFE COMMISSION ADOPTED A FORAGE FISH MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR HUNDREDS OF SMALL, SCHOOLING FISH IN STATE WATERS, MIRRORING ACTION TAKEN IN 2015 BY THE PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL TO PROTECT FORAGE FISH FROM NEW COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS WILL PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCIAL FISHERIES FOR THESE SMALL FISH WITHOUT CAREFUL CONSIDERATION AND ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON THE OCEAN ECOSYSTEM AND EXISTING FISHERIES. THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE ESTABLISHED CONFORMING REGULATIONS TO PROHIBIT NEW FISHERIES FROM DEVELOPING ON SEVEN GROUPS OF CURRENTLY UNMANAGED FORAGE FISH IN STATE WATERS. THESE REGULATIONS MIRROR THOSE FINALIZED BY NOAA IN MAY FOR FEDERAL WATERS OFF CALIFORNIA, OREGON AND WASHINGTON, AND ARE THE LAST PIECE OF THE PUZZLE TO ACHIEVING PROTECTIONS FOR HUNDREDS OF FORAGE FISH SPECIES FROM 0 TO 200 MILES OFF THE U.S. WEST COAST. THE U.S. PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL VOTED TO KEEP THE DIRECTED PACIFIC SARDINE FISHERY CLOSED FOR A SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, BASED ON A NEW SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT THAT FOUND THAT THE SARDINE POPULATION HAS COLLAPSED ROUGHLY 90 PERCENT SINCE 2007. CLIMATE AND ENERGY OCEANA'S GOAL FOR THE CLIMATE AND ENERGY CAMPAIGN IS TO PREVENT THE EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE DRILLING INTO THE ATLANTIC, PACIFIC, AND ARCTIC OCEANS. WE WILL PROTECT MORE THAN 300,000 SQUARE MILES IN THE ATLANTIC, MORE THAN 580,000 SQUARE MILES IN THE PACIFIC, AND THE U.S. ARCTIC FROM POLLUTION, NOISE, AND OTHER IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS ACTIVITIES. OUR CAMPAIGN ALSO INCLUDES WORK TO STOP SEISMIC TESTING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY. OCEANA BUILT AND LED A POWERFUL GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT TO DEMONSTRATE THE BROAD-BASED AND DIVERSE OPPOSITION TO OFFSHORE DRILLING. STOPPING THE EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE OIL THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION REMOVED THE ATLANTIC OCEAN FROM THE FIVE-YEAR PROGRAM (2017-2022) FOR OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT ON THE OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF FOLLOWING YEARS OF OCEANA CAMPAIGNING AGAINST PROPOSALS FOR OFFSHORE DRILLING ACTIVITY. THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION PROTECTED THE ARCTIC OCEAN FROM OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING BY REMOVING THE BEAUFORT AND CHUKCHI SEAS FROM THE FINAL 2017-2022 FIVE-YEAR PROGRAM FOR OIL AND GAS LEASING ON THE OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF IN NOVEMBER OF 2016. THIS FOLLOWED THE SIMILAR MARCH 2016 DECISION, DESCRIBED ABOVE, TO REMOVE THE ATLANTIC OCEAN FROM THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN. THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION PERMANENTLY PROTECTED IMPORTANT AREAS OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN FROM OFFSHORE DRILLING BY WITHDRAWING 3.8 MILLION ACRES IN THE NORTH AND MID-ATLANTIC OCEAN FROM FUTURE MINERAL EXTRACTION, PROTECTING 31 CANYONS THAT EXTEND FROM NEW ENGLAND TO THE CHESAPEAKE BAY. PRESIDENT OBAMA ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER CREATING THE NORTHERN BERING SEA CLIMATE RESILIENCE AREA IN ALASKA, RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE REGION, INCREASING LOCAL PARTICIPATION IN MANAGEMENT DECISIONS, AND HELPING THE REGION FROM POTENTIAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES. THE BUREAU OF OCEAN ENERGY MANAGEMENT (BOEM) AND THE BUREAU OF SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT (BSEE) FINALIZED RULES TO IMPROVE SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE REQUIREMENTS FOR OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION DRILLING IN THE U.S. ARCTIC OCEAN. OCEANA HELPED TO ORGANIZE THE BUSINESS ALLIANCE FOR PROTECTING THE ATLANTIC COAST, A NEWLY FORMED COALITION REPRESENTING BUSINESSES THAT ARE OPPOSED TO SEISMIC AIRGUN TESTING AND OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. THE INVOLVEMENT OF THIS COALITION WAS INTEGRAL TO OCEANA'S VICTORIES IN THE CAMPAIGN TO STOP OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING. SEAFOOD FRAUD THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED A FINAL RULE TO IMPLEMENT THE SEAFOOD IMPORT MONITORING PROGRAM TO ADDRESS ILLEGAL FISHING AND SEAFOOD FRAUD IN THE UNITED STATES, REQUIRING IMPORTED SEAFOOD AT RISK OF ILLEGAL FISHING AND SEAFOOD FRAUD TO BE TRACED FROM THE FISHING BOAT OR FARM TO THE U.S. BORDER. | Desc |

TIME FOR ACTION: SIX YEARS AFTER DEEPWATER HORIZON (APRIL 2016)THE REPORT HIGHLIGHTS LONG-TERM IMPACTS OF THE DEEPWATER HORIZON OIL SPILL FOCUSING ON THE MARINE LIFE, COMMUNITIES AND ECONOMY.

SHARK FIN TRADE: WHY IT SHOULD BE BANNED IN THE UNITED STATES (JUNE 2016)OCEANA'S REPORT DEMONSTRATES THAT CONGRESS NEEDS TO PASS A FEDERAL BAN ON THE BUYING AND SELLING OF SHARK FIN PRODUCTS WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE INTERNATIONAL FIN TRADE, IMPROVE ENFORCEMENT OF THE CURRENT FINNING BAN, AND REINFORCE THE STATUS OF THE UNITED STATES AS A LEADER IN SHARK CONSERVATION.

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | THE VIDAL ARMADORES COMPANY RAID CONCLUDED WITH FOUR ARRESTS, INCLUDING ANTONIO VIDAL SUAREZ AND HIS SON, WHO ARE GLOBALLY KNOWN FOR THEIR LINKS WITH ILLEGAL FISHING OFFENSES IN ANTARCTIC WATERS FOR THE PRIZED PATAGONIAN TOOTHFISH. RESTORING MEDITERRANEAN FISH STOCK OCEANA SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT EU FISH STOCKS IN THE NORTH AND MEDITERRANEAN SEA ARE FISHED AT SUSTAINABLE LEVELS BY 2020. ALSO AS PART OF THE FISHERIES WORK, OCEANA IS CAMPAIGNING FOR SUBSTANTIALLY ELIMINATING IUU AND DESTRUCTIVE FISHING FROM EU MARKETS AND FLEETS. THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE CONSERVATION OF ATLANTIC TUNAS (ICCAT) AGREED ON A RECOVERY PLAN FOR THE SEVERELY DEPLETED MEDITERRANEAN SWORDFISH. THE PLAN INCLUDES A REDUCTION OF CATCHES AND THE ADOPTION OF A QUOTA SYSTEM, ENFORCED BY MONITORING AND CONTROL MEASURES TO PREVENT ILLEGAL FISHING AND IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY IN FISHERY MANAGEMENT AND TRADE. THE GENERAL FISHERIES COMMISSION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN ADOPTED A BAN ON BOTTOM TRAWLING IN THREE NURSERY AREAS FOR HAKE, THE MOST OVERFISHED SPECIES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN, AND ROSE SHRIMP IN THE STRAIT OF SICILY. THE COMMISSION ALSO PROHIBITED THE COMMERCIAL HARVEST OF RED CORAL. HABITAT CAMPAIGN OCEANA AIMS TO SECURE PROTECTION FOR 20 PERCENT OF THE BALTIC SEA AND KATTEGAT, AND 10 PERCENT OF THE OTHER EUROPEAN WATERS WITH MPAS IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN (INCLUDING THE NORTH SEA) AND MEDITERRANEAN SEA BY 2020. THE GENERAL FISHERIES COMMISSION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN CREATED THREE FISHERIES RESTRICTED AREAS IN THE STRAIT OF SICILY, PROTECTING 1,493 SQUARE KILOMETERS BETWEEN ITALY, MALTA, AND TUNISIA AND BANNING BOTTOM TRAWLING IN THREE NURSERY AREAS FOR HAKE AND ROSE SHRIMP. THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE FISHERIES MINISTERS OF ALL 27 MEMBER STATES REACHED AN AGREEMENT THAT BANS ALL TRAWLING BELOW 800 METERS AND STOPS BOTTOM FISHING ACTIVITY BELOW 400 METERS IF THE PRESENCE OF VULNERABLE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS IS DEMONSTRATED. THESE ACTIONS PROTECT 4.9 MILLION SQUARE KILOMETERS - AN AREA LARGER THAN THE EUROPEAN UNION ITSELF. SPAIN ANNOUNCED A BAN ON BOTTOM TRAWLING AND OTHER DESTRUCTIVE FISHING PRACTICES IN A 1,400 SQUARE KILOMETER REGION BETWEEN MALLORCA AND MENORCA IN THE BALEARIC ISLANDS. THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT ALSO EXPANDED THE PROTECTED AREA IN FORT D'EN MOREU, A VIBRANT REEF TO THE EAST OF CABRERA THAT HAS BEEN THREATENED BY ILLEGAL TRAWLING ACTIVITY. THE GOVERNMENT OF DENMARK DECIDED TO CREATE NEW MARINE PROTECTED AREAS IN THE KATTEGAT TO PROTECT FRAGILE AND THREATENED SOFT BOTTOM SPECIES AND HABITATS, LIKE SEA PENS AND HAPLOOPS, WHICH ARE LARGELY UNPROTECTED IN EUROPEAN WATERS. IN 2016, OCEANA CONDUCTED FOUR EXPEDITIONS IN EUROPEAN WATERS: THE BALTIC SEA, EASTERN AND CENTRAL MEDITERRANEAN (MALTA AND LEBANON RESPECTIVELY), AND THE NORTH SEA. THE TWO-YEAR RESEARCH PROJECT IN THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN WILL SUPPORT THE CREATION OF PROPOSALS TO INCREASE THE SURFACE OF MPAS IN LEBANON AND PROTECTING 10 PERCENT OF THE MARINE ECOSYSTEM BY 2020. GLOBAL FISHING WATCH GLOBAL FISHING WATCH (GFW), LAUNCHED BY OCEANA AND ITS PARTNERS GOOGLE AND SKYTRUTH, IS THE FIRST AND ONLY FREE SOURCE OF DATA ON FISHING VESSEL TRACKING AVAILABLE TO ANYONE IN THE WORLD WITH AN INTERNET CONNECTION. GLOBAL FISHING WATCH PROVIDES A GLOBAL VIEW OF COMMERCIAL FISHING ACTIVITY, AND EXPOSING BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL FISHING SOURCES. IN SEPTEMBER 2016, OCEANA, GOOGLE, AND SKYTRUTH LAUNCHED GLOBAL FISHING WATCH AT A HIGH-VISIBILITY EVENT, FEATURING LEONARDO DICAPRIO. TED DANSON EMCEED THE EVENT, AND U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY SPOKE AT THE EVENT ABOUT THE VALUE OF THE GLOBAL FISHING WATCH AS A NEW TRANSPARENCY TOOL. ALSO IN ATTENDANCE WAS THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION AND INDONESIAN FISHERY MINISTER. THE GLOBAL FISHING WATCH LAUNCH GENERATED MORE THAN 240 UNIQUE STORIES AND 1,800 NEWS HITS. THIS INCLUDES COVERAGE IN 75 COUNTRIES AND 21 LANGUAGES. KEY OUTLETS INCLUDED THE NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, AGENCE FRANCE PRESS, LE FIGARO, INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES, USA TODAY, FORBES, BLOOMBERG AND BLOOMBERG VIEW, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, AND FAST COMPANY COEXIST. WITHIN TWO DAYS, GLOBAL FISHING WATCH WEBSITE HAD 8,300 REGISTERED USERS. BY THE END OF 2016, THE NUMBER OF USERS HAD GROWN TO NEARLY 25,000 PEOPLE IN MORE THAN 188 COUNTRIES AND 36 TERRITORIES. OCEANA ESTABLISHED RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT SANTA BARBARA, UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI, DALHOUSIE, UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG, AND THE AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATION (CSIRO). PERU- SHARK CAMPAIGN PERU'S MINISTRY OF PRODUCTION ANNOUNCED A BAN ON THE LANDING AND TRANSSHIPMENT OF SHARK FINS AND HEADLESS OR FINLESS SHARK BODIES IN THE COUNTRY'S PORTS. THE MEASURE ALSO BANS THE USE OF HARPOONS TO HUNT SHARKS AND PROMOTES TRACEABILITY IN THE SHARK SUPPLY CHAIN. ANCHOVETA RECOVERY CAMPAIGN OCEANA AIMS TO IMPROVE MANAGEMENT OF ANCHOVETA AND TO ADDRESS THE EMERGING NATIONAL EMERGENCY CAUSED BY THE ONGOING EL NI O EVENT. PERU'S MINISTRY OF PRODUCTION DELAYED THE OPENING OF THE 2016 ANCHOVETA FISHING SEASON, AND CLOSED IT EARLY, IN RESPONSE TO OCEANA'S STEADY PRESSURE TO AVOID THE COLLAPSE OF THIS FISHERY - THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD BY VOLUME. THESE DECISIONS SAVED 40 TO 60 BILLION ANCHOVETA, AND IN TURN SUPPORTED PERUVIANS WHO DEPEND ON THIS FISHERY TO MAKE A LIVING. TRANSPARENCY OCEANA IS CAMPAIGNING TO MAKE FISH STOCK ASSESSMENTS, LANDINGS, AND MANAGEMENT PLANS TRANSPARENT TO THE PUBLIC. THE GOVERNMENT RELEASED ITS VESSEL MONITORING SYSTEM (VMS) DATA FOR 2012 TO OCEANA. THIS IS A GOOD FIRST STEP TOWARD OBTAINING BOTH NEAR REAL-TIME AND HISTORICAL VMS DATA. PREVIOUS TO THIS, THE GOVERNMENT WITHHELD DATA LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OLD ON THE GROUNDS THAT THE DATA COULD STILL BE USED IN ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS. THE PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT HAS STARTED PUBLISHING ALL REPORTS SUPPORTING FISHERY MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. ADDITIONALLY THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TAKING STEPS TO IMPROVE ITS STOCK ASSESSMENT METHODS. PHILIPPINES- OCEANA IN THE PHILIPPINES IS WORKING TO STOP ILLEGAL FISHING BY COMMERCIAL FISHERS IN ORDER TO REBUILD FISH POPULATIONS AND REDIRECT FISH CATCHES TO THE SMALL-SCALE FISHING SECTOR. END COMMERCIAL FISHING IN TA ON STRAIT OCEANA IS SEEKING TO PREVENT COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS FROM FISHING IN TA ON STRAIT AS A KEY FIRST STEP TOWARDS PREVENTING ILLEGAL FISHING IN MUNICIPAL WATERS NATIONWIDE. OCEANA'S MILESTONES FOR 2016 ARE HIGHLIGHTED BELOW. THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE MARITIME GROUP AND THE FISHERIES BUREAU INCREASED ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES AND HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING OPERATIONS IN BANTAYAN (PART OF TA ON STRAIT AND VISAYAS SEA). THE FISHERIES UNDERSECRETARY AND NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES COMMITTED TO ASSIGN TWO VESSELS TO PATROL THE TA ON STRAIT, AND ORDERED HIS STAFF TO COORDINATE WITH OCEANA FOR PILOT TESTING OF VESSEL MONITORING MECHANISMS. BIODIVERSITY MANAGEMENT BUREAU DIRECTOR MUNDITA LIM REVIEWED AND ENDORSED THE TA ON STRAIT GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN, AND GAVE APPROVAL FOR ITS FULL IMPLEMENTATION BY THE MANAGEMENT BODY. IN SEPTEMBER, THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT AND CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS MADE A DECISION TO CONTINUE AND STRENGTHEN THE COASTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ALLIANCE IN REGION 7(CLEAR7). OCEANA BUILT A STRONGER COALITION OF CONSTITUENTS WITH THE BIGGEST PRIVATE UNIVERSITY IN THE VISAYAS AND MINDANAO REGIONS, THE UNIVERSITY OF CEBU, AND WITH CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS, AND PEOPLE'S ORGANIZATIONS TO PROTECT AND CONSERVE THE FRAGILE ECOSYSTEMS IN TA ON STRAIT. OCEANA PRESENTED ITS FIRST HERO AWARDS FOR EACH OF THE THREE PROVINCES IN CEBU AND NEGROS. OCEANA CARRIED OUT ENFORCEMENT TRAININGS FOR ENFORCERS AND DEPUTIES IN TA ON STRAIT AND CONDUCTED THE FIRST-EVER TRAINING OF SPECIAL PROSECUTORS FOR PROTECTED AREAS. PROTECT BENHAM RISE SEAFLOOR HABITAT THIS CAMPAIGN SEEKS TO GET PROTECTION FROM FISHING FOR THE BENHAM RISE SEAFLOOR BY 2018. IN MAY 2016, OCEANA LAUNCHED ITS FIRST SEA EXPEDITION IN THE PHILIPPINES, FINDING LARGE, BEAUTIFUL PATCHES OF INTACT CORAL REEFS, AND GREAT DIVERSITY, MAINLY OF INVERTEBRATES. FOLLOWING THE EXPEDITION, OCEANA CARRIED OUT MEDIA EFFORTS TO INCREASE THE AWARENESS OF THE THREATS FACING THE AREA, AS WELL AS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST FURTHER EXPLOITATION OF THE BENHAM RISE. OCEANA LAUNCHED AN ONGOING PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN THAT INCLUDES FORUMS, PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS, AND THE PRODUCTION OF PRESS MATERIALS, ALL PROMOTING THE CORAL REEFS OF BENHAM RISE. THE LAST FORUM IN 2016 FEATURED ALEXANDRA COUSTEAU AND OTHER EXPEDITION MEMBERS SHARING THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | INSTITUTIONALIZING VESSEL MONITORING MECHANISMS (VMM) THIS OCEANA CAMPAIGN FOCUSES ON ACHIEVING EVIDENCE OF "ON THE WATER" VESSEL MONITORING TO BE REQUIRED FOR COMMERCIAL VESSELS THROUGHOUT TA ON STRAIT AND OTHER KEY FISHERIES AREAS BY THE CLOSE OF 2018. THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES (BFAR) COMMITTED TO START DRAFTING RULES FOR COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS. OCEANA WILL WORK TOGETHER WITH THE BUREAU IN DRAFTING THESE RULES. BAN DESTRUCTIVE FISHING GEAR WITH THIS CAMPAIGN, OCEANA AIMS TO GET THE BUREAU TO 1) BAN THE USE OF BOTTOM TRAWLS IN THE PHILIPPINES, 2) FULLY IMPLEMENT THE TOTAL BAN ON THE USE OF THE MODIFIED DANISH SEINES (HULBOT-HULBOT), AND 3) ESTABLISH A POLICY TO CONTROL THE MATERIALS USED FOR BLAST FISHING, ALL BY 2018. THE COURTS CONTINUE TO PROTECT THE HULBOT-HULBOT BAN.
