Nearly 7,000 European citizens participated in Surfrider Foundation Europe's public consultation for ocean protection just ahead of the 2019 EU elections. The goal? Amplifying citizens' voice to the highest European level to place ocean protection at the heart of political debate! Citizens called for concrete measures for the oceans, with three priorities: microplastic pollution, fossil fuel and offshore exploitation, and more environmentally responsible shipping. The results were presented to MEPs, asking them to include the protection of oceans in their electoral programmes.

Every year, starting in December, a massive stranding of dolphins is reported. This campaign wants to prevent yet another mass stranding of dolphins this winter, tightly correlated with a certain type of fishery: non-selective pelagic trawlers.
Our goal is clear: suspend the fishery to prevent further mass deaths of dolphins. In addition to saving dolphins, the suspension will also benefit the decreasing population of Atlantic sea bass.

We all need water to survive. But without healthy rivers, lakes and wetlands, there is no water. The sources of Europe’s water are protected under EU law – but many EU governments want to weaken the law. Together, we MUST stop this from happening.
The #ProtectWater campaign is a chance to raise our voices and stand together to protect our precious water resources. Over 375,000 European citizens told the European Commission in March 2019 that they want to protect the EU water law. We will continue the fight until the law is safe and EU's lakes and rivers are clean and healthy.
