Oceana

Sandstone is proud to support Oceana by donating a portion of every confirmed booking to its efforts.

Founded in 2001, Oceana is the largest international organization committed exclusively to restoring the world’s oceans and protecting marine life. Through conservation campaigns and groundbreaking policy, Oceana champions biodiversity, habitat sustainability, and science-based fishery management. Its expedition charters and extensive seamount and ecosystem research have led to hundreds of policy victories.

By combating pollution and overfishing, Oceana has successfully protected 4.5 million acres of ocean and sea life to date. In the last year alone, Oceana has helped phase out swordfish drift gillnet fishing in California and protected 140,000 square miles of U.S. sea floor off the West Coast, created Benham Bank protected area in the Philippines, banned bottom trawling in 98% of Chile’s seas, implemented management rules for the first time in Tainha Brazil, and banned off-shore oil drilling on Belize’s barrier reef.

Additionally, Oceana is working toward feeding 1 billion people a healthy seafood meal every day by restoring the world’s oceans. With offices in four continents, Oceana’s global reach has garnered the support of over 850,000 activists.
