Greenpeace 'Defending our oceans'

The expedition

The 'Defending our Oceans' voyage is the single largest expedition that Greenpeace has ever undertaken. This incredible year-long journey will tell the story of the crisis facing our oceans from the Azores to Antarctica, take you to places few humans have been, confront the villains and promote solutions - and you can join us.

While many of us love the ocean, it's hard to imagine what is happening just beyond our beaches, and hard to picture the scale of destruction and the impact that it's having. By travelling to most of the oceans in the world, this voyage aims to change this - we will make the unseen, seen.

Every second breath you take comes from the oceans. The oceans give life to our planet. In return we are suffocating them; dredging up too many fish, stealing food from needy mouths, carelessly killing countless creatures including whales, turtles, sea birds and thousand year old corals, we fill the oceans with pollution and warm them with climate change.
