More than 12 million tons of plastic end up in our seas every year.
Globally, two-thirds of marine mammals, half of seabirds, and all species of sea turtles have been impacted by trash in our oceans, including discarded fishing gear. Abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear, known as ghost fishing gear, is the deadliest form of marine plastic.
To date, over 750,000 WWF-US Activists have joined two million voices around the world asking government leaders to establish a global legally-binding agreement to stop plastics from leaking into our oceans.

In the latest chapter of the decades-long saga to protect Alaska’s Bristol Bay, the US Army Corps of Engineers has denied in late November a crucial permit to build the controversial Pebble Mine.
For nearly two decades, the committed people of Bristol Bay have led the fight to stop the mine. More than 635,000 WWF supporters signed on to help stop Pebble Mine. While the decision poses a significant barrier to the development of the massive open pit gold and copper mine; the issue is far from settled.
