Oceans cover 72% of the Earths surface and play a critical role in maintaining the global environmental systems that we all depend on.
Here are some facts that show how important healthy oceans are:
Sadly, yes. Industrial fishing, plastic pollution, climate change and deep sea oil drilling have threatened our oceans.
Because of these threats, marine ecosystems are breaking down. Creating safe havens in the form of an ocean sanctuary would give sea-life the ability to sustain numbers necessary to survive.
An ocean sanctuary is similar to a national park, just in the ocean. They are designed to protect ecosystems from human exploitation, which means forbidding fishing, mining, and waste disposal. To sum up, no extraction or degradation can be done to it.
Greenpeace is currently fighting to create a network of marine reserves that would cover at least 30% of the ocean. So far, only 1% of the ocean is protected. These reserves would include large deep sea areas and smaller parts near coasts.
The sites we are focusing on first are breeding zones, vulnerable habitats such as reefs as well as areas where rare and threatened species live.

Unless otherwise stated, all of the funds raised go into the Greenpeace Trust Fund, which is an untied or unrestricted general fund. This means that Greenpeace can spend the funds where there is the most pressing need, for example, to respond to a recent environmental crisis.
Giving an unrestricted gift is the best way that you can support Greenpeace, as it ensures that we can spend the funds where they are needed most.
"Unrestricted" funds are donations that are available for Greenpeace to use for any purpose. Unrestricted funds will go towards our campaigns and any operating expenses.
In some circumstances, we can accept funds tied to a specific campaign: please contact our Supporter Relationships team on 1800 815 151.
Where donations are earmarked or tied to a specific objective, we fully endeavour to honour the donor's request. If we invite the general public to donate to a specific cause, a recognised accounting method is used to track and control donations. We report back on amounts raised, how it was spent, and the net proportion used for the purpose or cause.
We seek to actively raise no more than the full budget of activities we specify in earmarked funding requests; and will develop scenarios for dealing with shortfall or excess on specific earmarked fundraising projects. We make every effort to provide full and fair disclosure in managing donor designated gifts.
Regular donations allow us to provide a stable and sustainable campaign force for the planet. By signing up to become a regular giver, no matter the size of your regular donation, you will make a vital difference to our ability to respond quickly to the planet’s greatest threats. Our regular donors are proud to know that they have had a hand in powering our effective and strategic campaigns through from conception to victory.
We do not take any donations from corporations, political parties or governments. We encourage donors to make a regular donation, giving Greenpeace the security and stability to make long-term commitments to our campaigns, enabling us to plan ahead, respond quickly, while keeping us flexible and independent.
