ONE OCEAN, ONE FIGHT!℠
Together, we can protect and preserve the ocean for future generations.
Earthrise by William Anders' | 1968
Throughout history, Warrior Societies have fought for the futures of their peoples. Today, the Ocean Warrior Society is fighting for the future of all life on Planet Ocean by protecting ecosystems, prosecuting wildlife poachers and traffickers, and preserving the ocean’s rich biodiversity and life-sustaining capacity for all generations to come.
The Ocean
The ocean is the source of all life on Earth, and, in addition to generating up to 80% of our oxygen, it accounts for 98% of our planet’s habitable space and contains 94% of its wildlife – from tiny zooplankton to the largest animal ever, the blue whale. The ocean’s global circulation system plays a key role in distributing heat energy, regulating weather and climate, and cycling vital nutrients and gasses.
The Threats
Record year-over-year warming, acidification, coral bleaching, number and total area of dead zones, and annual and accumulated plastic pollution, represent unprecedented threats to the ocean. Combined with persistent, ecosystem-threatening levels of overfishing and illegal fishing, including 500 billion+ ocean animals poached each year, the threats to Planet Ocean are existential.
About OWS
We are a new, anti-poaching, direct-action, ocean conservation organization fighting for the future of all life on Planet Ocean. OWS will be the Tip of the Trident℠ in a soon-to-be Global War on Poaching, and we will take a three-pronged approach in pursuit of our objectives:
- Anti-Poaching Direct Action/Intervention/Enforcement.
- Wildlife Trafficking Investigation and Prosecution.
- Hard-Hitting/Impactful Media Production.
Why We Fight
No matter where we live on this planet, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat, are all dependent upon a healthy ocean, and a healthy ocean requires healthy populations of its diminishing wildlife. The ocean is the life support system for our planet, and the threats to it are unprecedented, increasing, and existential. We have no choice but to fight!
"Ending the Ocean Emergency
is a race we must win!"
-United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres
Join The Fight!
Planet Ocean needs you, and we need you to help us protect and preserve the ocean for future generations. If we are to make a difference, if we are to have the necessary, positive impact, we need the active involvement of thousands of people around the world, not just as supporters but as engaged volunteers. And, whether on land or at sea, volunteering with the Ocean Warrior Society is a great way to make a positive difference for Planet Ocean. ONE OCEAN, ONE FIGHT!℠
Support The Fight!
In the middle of the Ocean Decade (2021 – 30), we find ourselves in an “Ocean Emergency.” Yet, this most important of causes – addressing the unprecedented threats to our life support system, currently receives less than one-half of 1% of all charitable giving. If we are to protect and preserve the ocean for future generations, we have to radically raise awareness of the importance of the issue. To do that, we have to radically raise the funding levels for ocean conservation. The Ocean Warrior Society will lead this fight, but we will need your support to do so.
