Game on ! Celebrate these 3 Olympians of the ocean ! 🏅🌊 (ONLY ONE).

 

Hi, The 2024 Summer Olympics are in full swing, so there’s no better time to champion some of our favorite aquatic athletes from around the world — with the simple steps you can take to protect them.   Common Puffin Marathon Medalist of the Atlantic Over the summer, these migratory seabirds travel thousands of miles along the European coast to establish breeding grounds, with Irish populations covering distances greater than that of any other puffin.  But rising sea temperatures and declining fish stocks threaten their survival. Raise your voice to help protect their habitat →  Bottlenose Dolphin Gymnast of the Mediterranean Known for their aerial acrobatics, bottlenose dolphins can jump up to 20 feet out of the water and even perform backflips and somersaults! But their agility isn’t enough to protect them from destructive fishing practices — sadly, bottlenose dolphins and other cetaceans are often swept up in industrial fishing nets. Add your name to support a ban on bottom trawling in EU marine protected areas →  Emperor Penguin The Southern Ocean’s Resident Diver Not only can the world’s largest penguin hold its breath for as long as a half hour, these tuxedo-clad divers can plunge deeper than 1,500 feet in pursuit of a meal.   Help secure their habitat as part of the largest act of ocean protection in history → You can learn more about the Olympic-worthy efforts underway to protect our ocean made possible by your support in this incredible piece by Lead Ambassador Matthew Underwater and Splash member Sneha Devaraj.
