Our Mission

Global Preservation Initiative is a nonprofit organization preserving shared human and environmental health.

Our oceans uphold all life on Earth.

Our oceans connect every continent and produce up to 70% of the world’s oxygen

—making them essential to all life on Earth. What we do on land flows into the sea, revealing

how closely human health is tied to ocean health. That’s why we focus on two of the most

urgent threats: plastic pollution and industrial fishing.

Plastic Pollution

Plastic never goes away—it just breaks into smaller pieces,

spreading toxins through all living things

and leaving a legacy of pollution.

Industrial Fishing

Fishing gear litters our oceans, while unregulated industrial fishing

—both intentional and accidental—removes massive amounts of marine life

vital to ocean health and Earth’s ability to support life.
