Defend the Sea

Defiende el Mar (Defend the Sea) is a movement in which all individuals, organizations and communities play a very important role. Everyone should be a part of it. We all need to have a basic knowledge of what is happening in our oceans, so we can take action and defend the sea.

The oceans are in danger. We tend to think of the sea as an infinite resource but in the last 15 years the fish populations have diminished drastically and some species have even disappeared. In order to satisfy the basic human needs of both future and present generations, we must change the way in which we use our oceans, or we will devastate this vast but finite resource.

To accomplish this goal WiLDCOAST/COSTASALVAjE in conjunction with other non-governmental, non-profit organizations, is promoting the creation of MARINE PROTECTED AREAS (MPAs).
