Ocean Defender page.
Environmental Justice Foundation
Earlier
in the expedition, we worked with the Environmental Justice Foundation to carry out a joint investigation in West Africa during which over 100
vessels were documented. The evidence gathered suggests that almost
half the boats observed were engaged in, or linked to illegal fishing
activities.
Mineral Policy Institute
The Mineral Policy Institute (MPI) is an Australian-based
non-government organisation specialising in advocacy, campaigning and
research to prevent environmentally and socially destructive mining,
minerals and energy projects in Australia, Asia and the Pacific.
Like us, they are working to stop the pollution caused by the Lafayette
mine in the Philippines.
IFAW
Earlier in our expedition, we worked with the International Fund for
Animal Welfare in the Azores, helping document whales for their Whale
ID project.
WWF
We have been working with the WWF in the Mediterranean, helping to
document and bring attention to the plight of tuna and other species in
the region.
Deep Sea Conservation Coalition
We are part of the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, a growing number of
organisations working together to protect seamounts, cold-water corals
and vulnerable deep-sea ecosystems.
Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition
We are also part of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition, working
to ensure that the Antarctic contintent, surrounding islands and Great
Southern Ocean remain the world’s last unspoiled wilderness.
University of the Azores
While we were in the Azores, we worked with scientists from the
University of the Azores as part of an ongoing UAC research program.
The program is intended to establish greater scientific knowledge of
the importance of deep-sea habitats and marine life.
Mother Jones Ocean Voyager
Mother Jones magazine has created a five part series called Ocean
