How Your Adoption Helps Protect Marine Life: When you adopt an ocean animal, you help protect our oceans and save endangered animals by helping us prevent oil spills that kill sea turtles, seals, and dolphins and harm our coasts; protect polar bears and penguins from climate change and oil and gas development; and put an end to shark finning, bottom trawling, and seafood fraud. All donations go towards making our world's oceans healthier and safer, for generations to come.
