Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth and drive weather, regulate temperature, and support life on this planet. Our oceans are a vast system of diverse and complex ecosystems and natural resources; and the health of the world’s oceans is inextricably tied to the health of our planet.
And amazingly, up to 95% of the ocean realm remains an unexplored mystery.

As Oceans Warm, Predators Are Falling Out of Sync with Their Prey

Marine Conservation Society
My 14 year old daughter saw a video about Marine Conservation Society and has decided she wants to become a member, with her own money, in addition to looking for more ways we can cut back on plastic use etc. We live in the US and honestly, I had not heard of this particular organization vs the others out there. She is pretty adamant that this is the one she wants to support.
Is this a good organization to support? Is there any reason why we should look at a different one instead?
