Know who to call —protect what matters.
While logging observations in eOceans helps strengthen the data that drives action, some situations require immediate response.
Whether you're a scientist, diver, fisher, researcher, or passerby, having the right phone number at the right time can make all the difference. We've compiled a growing list of wildlife and conservation hotlines — for reporting entanglements, illegal fishing, pollution, wildlife crime, and more.
Note: eOceans is not affiliated with or endorsing any hotline listed. Always confirm credibility before reporting.
Know one we missed? Let us know.
