Oceana aids at the blue carpet

The Ocean Heroes Award was created by Oceana in 2009 to recognize an exceptional personal commitment to ocean conservation.

The first winner, announced on World Oceans Day, June 8, 2009, was John Halas, a marine biologist and manager of the Upper Region of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

Halas, who won a $500 Nautica gift certificate and an outgoing voicemail greeting by Ted Danson, has been working to protect coral systems in Florida since 1981. He developed an environmentally friendly anchor and mooring buoy system that prevents damage to coral reefs and has worked to implement this anchorage system in 38 countries.

Bob Schoelkopf was the runner-up for his work rescuing and rehabilitating seals, dolphins, sea turtles and other marine animals in New Jersey. Shark expert Andy Dehart earned the third most votes for his work educating the public about sharks.

Ocean Acidification: Oceana advertising campaign in Copenhagen

Because ocean acidification threatens all marine life, Oceana has invested in an advertising campaign to highlight the most urgent goal:  reducing CO2 emissions to achieve atmospheric levels of 350 parts per million (ppm) or less as soon as possible.
The three advertisements that Oceana will display in Copenhagen, Denmark, throughout the entire United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting, are depicted here:

Global warming is increasing ocean temperatures and raising sea levels, creating a host of problems for the oceans and ocean wildlife.Recent discoveries have revealed that global warming is not the only problem for the oceans resulting from the massive amounts of carbon dioxide we are releasing into the atmosphere.

These excessive amounts of carbon dioxide are actually changing the chemistry of the oceans, making them more acidic.www.oceana.org
