#DeepSeaMining endangers the health of California’s marine environment and our fishery and tourism industries. Mike McGuire and Senator Toni Atkins please support #AB1832 the California Seabed Mining Prevention Act. #DefendTheDeep #CAleg

Thank you Luz Rivas Gavin Newsom Eleni Kounalakis Surfrider California Monterey Bay Aquarium for leading the charge to #DefendTheDeep. Vibrant and diverse living seafloor habitats like coral gardens, sponge beds, & rocky reefs will be safeguarded from destructive seabed mining bit.ly/3Bvb1B3

Thank you Wade Crowfoot California Department of Fish and Wildlife and California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) for your thorough efforts in implementing this collaborative partnership to protect ocean wildlife and ensure sustainable fisheries

So excited that this bill is at the finish line! #finbannow USA.oceana.org

“When whales arrive off California in large numbers it’s heartening to know they will hopefully be able to find the food they need without the risk of becoming entangled in a fishing line,” says @Oceana's Geoff Shester Thank you California Department of Fish and Wildlife bit.ly/40MNBSL

California ocean biodiversity is at risk according to a new report by Oceana and TIRN. Mile-long set gillnets meant to catch California halibut and white seabass off SoCal are catching more than 125 different species of ocean animals. Read more bit.ly/43BTNPQ

WATCH: California ocean biodiversity at risk. Mile-long set gillnets targeting California halibut & white seabass entangle, injure, & kill more than 125 different species of ocean animals. California Department of Fish and Wildlife we need you to address this needless waste to #KeepCAOceansThriving

CALIFORNIANS: Deadly set gillnets pose a constant threat to whales, sharks, sea lions, and other iconic California #ocean animals. 🦈 🐋 Don’t let wildlife continue to suffer! Add your name to tell California Department of Fish and Wildlife to #KeepCAOceansThriving: bit.ly/40mPqFG

Great coverage by Suzanne Potter on a threat to California's ocean biodiversity. New Oceana report finds mile-long gillnets fixed to the seafloor to catch California halibut & white seabass entangle more than 125 species of marine life. #KeepCAOceansThriving

It’s official: #SharkWeek has begun, and these animals need your help. Add your name today to #KeepCAOceansThriving 🦈

Thank you Assemblymember Steve Bennett for championing #YesOnAB2220 to protect California’s ocean life from the threat of entanglement in set gillnets. These nets are 20 football fields long and threaten ocean biodiversity. Read more bit.ly/3UB8MYo

New funding will expand opportunities for California Dungeness crab fishermen using ropeless gear while protecting whales and sea turtles from entanglement. Oceana commends participating fishermen and California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) for supporting this investment 👏🐳🦀bit.ly/3uYUciI

Our oceans need #YesOnAB2220. Calif voters banned use of the type of monofilament net in nearshore waters seen entangled around this recently spotted gray whale. Yet, the gear is still allowed offshore SoCal where it can have consequences like this.

Help protect California wildlife this #BiodiversityDay!🪸 🦈 California's waters are home to an incredible array of wildlife, but these habitats & animals are threatened by indiscriminate fishing gears. Add your name to protect #biodiversity here today: oceana.ly/3KaBWXV

We can keep fishermen in business AND protect the resilience of our ocean ecosystems by using smarter, more selective fishing methods #WorldOceansDay

"You could essentially be eliminating huge ecosystems without even understanding what was there in the first place," @Oceana’s Geoff Shester tells Public News Service over impacts of deep sea mining ⛏️🪸 publicnewsservice.org/2025-07-16/oce…

California wrapped up the most successful trial of pop-up fishing gear on the U.S. West Coast, proving this innovative gear to catch Dungeness crab is profitable for fishermen and safe for whales. 🦀🐋 Read more about the results 👉 bit.ly/46HZiRc

Pop-up fishing technology aims to keep whales safe while letting fishermen get back on the water says @KSBW. Oceana’s Geoff Shester says authorization of this gear by California Department of Fish and Wildlife for spring 2026 would be a win-win for fishermen and #WhaleSafeOceans ksbw.com/article/whale-…
