Save Whales from Dying in Nets

Endangered whales need your voice before it's too late.

In waters off the California coast, drift gillnets are dropped in the ocean to capture swordfish. But, that's not all they catch.

Every year drift gillnets targeting swordfish off the California coast kill roughly 100 protected marine mammals, including endangered whales. If even just one of these animals is killed it can affect the health and recovery of the entire population.

Impassioned by the awe-inspiring nature of whales and their unnecessary suffering, Kate Mara dedicated herself to winning whales the protections they need and getting drift gillnets out of the water. Add your name now to stand with Kate Mara and Oceana demanding immediate protections for endangered whales and other at-risk species being killed in these nets.
