The oceans have sustained life on Earth for 3.5 billion years — but if we don't take action to save them, we could witness their demise in mere decades.

 | | | ![The time to show up for our oceans is now. [GIVE NOW >>]](https://prod.cdn.everyaction.com/images/van/TSM/TSMGP/1/55678/images/v3-GREEN-329.gif) | | Kathleen — | | Our oceans cover over 70% of the Earth and have sustained life for the last 3.5 billion years. Despite its presence on our precious blue planet since long before us, less than 20% has ever been mapped, explored, or even seen by humankind. | | Our deep blue oceans still hold countless secrets waiting to be brought to the surface — but if we fail to reach our $50,000 World Oceans Day goal to support action against the pollution threatening their survival, we may bear witness to its demise in mere decades. | | Please, Kathleen, don't let our world's waters go to waste — chip in $10 now in honor of World Oceans Day this Thursday before time runs out to save them. | | | | Our oceans are vast, ancient treasures. But with 12 million metric tons of plastic dumped into them each year, corporate greed is quickly transforming them into a big plastic soup. Plastics are choking and clogging creatures at every level of the ocean food chain. They're even ending up in the seafood on our plates — and by extension, in us too. | | And if deep-sea miners get ahold of our oceans' floors before we can stop them, they could launch disruptive and untested methods on the planet's deep seabeds in their quest to extract minerals — risking inevitable, severe, and irreversible environmental damage to our oceans and marine life. | | And the most tragic part of all — it doesn't have to be this way. | | If we can win a strong global treaty to stop the single-use plastics plague and protect at least 30% of our ocean ecosystems from needless destruction through crucial sanctuaries, we could ensure that our life-giving oceans get a fighting chance to survive the climate crisis. | | But with just five days until our World Oceans Day goal deadline at midnight this Thursday, our planet's precious oceans can't wait a moment longer for us to act. Please, Kathleen: Rush to our oceans' rescue with your generous gift of $10 or more right now to power Greenpeace USA's fight to save our endangered oceans. | | | | For our oceans, for our planet, and for us, | | Greenpeace USA | | | | | | |
