Sea animals
Meet them. Befriend them. Protect them.
Exploring the ocean isn't just maps and machines — it's the life down there. This is where you get to know the animals we're doing it all for, and help look after them.
Unite the world, the animals, and the sea. 🐢

Why it matters
The sea is in trouble — and worth fighting for.
1 in 3
fish stocks pushed past their limit
we take faster than the sea can refill.
~90%
of big ocean fish gone since 1950
tuna, sharks, marlin — vanishing.
8M tons
of plastic into the ocean each year
much of it ends up inside sea life.
90%+
of sea species still undiscovered
we're losing them before we meet them.
Meet the friends
You found them — now get to know them. More profiles, photos, and facts land as we explore.
Sea turtles
The mascot of the whole mission. Slow, ancient, patient — and in trouble.
Sea lions
Curious, playful, social. Coastlines depend on them being okay.
Dolphins
Brilliant and bonded. They remember each other for decades.
Octopuses
Maybe the closest thing to alien intelligence on Earth — right here.
Whales
The biggest hearts in the ocean, literally. Their songs travel oceans.
Reef life
Whole cities of color — and the canary for the ocean's health.
Know each one — and what it's up against
Every sea creature here, and exactly what it's up against. The trouble is specific — so the help can be too.
Sea turtles
6 of 7
species threatened
The problem: Plastic, ghost nets, and lost nesting beaches.
Whales
<10%
of historic numbers (some)
The problem: Ship strikes, entanglement, and ocean noise.
Dolphins
~300k
killed in nets a year
The problem: Bycatch drowns hundreds of thousands annually.
Sharks
~100M
killed a year
The problem: Finning + bycatch — and reefs need them to stay healthy.
Rays + skates
1 in 3
at risk of extinction
The problem: Overfished + bycatch; manta rays especially hit.
Octopuses
rising
fishing + farming pressure
The problem: Overfished, and targeted for farms they suffer in.
Sea lions + seals
↑
mass strandings rising
The problem: Toxic algae blooms + collapsing food supply.
Sea otters
keystone
vital to kelp forests
The problem: Hunted near-extinct for fur; slow to recover.
Penguins
11 of 18
species declining
The problem: Warming seas + overfishing starve their colonies.
Seahorses
~37M
taken a year
The problem: Caught for trinkets + traditional medicine.
Reef life
~50%
of reefs gone since 1950
The problem: Warming, acidification, and overfishing.
Seabirds
−70%
since 1950
The problem: Plastic, longlines, and vanishing fish.
Now help look after it.
That little puzzle is the idea, played for real: get to know these animals, then protect them. Our sea-life brand and conservation missions fund the actual care — and more sea puzzles + lessons land on Learn as we go.
