SPOTTED: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ted Danson, Dennis Haysbert, Laura Dern, Miranda Cosgrove, Austin Nichols, Oscar Nunez, Rachael Harris and Jenna Ushkowitz at the 7th annual SeaChange Summer Party in Laguna Beach on Saturday evening to support Oceana, the world’s largest international organization dedicated to ocean conservation.

This year’s sold-out event honored DiCaprio for his continued commitment to protecting the world’s oceans. The event took places at a private coastal villa in Laguna Beach with approximately 400 guests in attendance and helped raise $1.4 million for Oceana.

DiCaprio’s foundation had donated $3 million to Oceana earlier this year and has made other impressive commitments in 2014 to protect the world’s oceans.

DiCaprio said in a speech Saturday night:

“Allow me to get straight to the point. I truly believe that saving our oceans is the most important struggle of our time. As an avid diver I’ve been lucky enough to dive in places all over the world, including Australia, the Galapagos, Belize, and Thailand. I’ve witnessed first-hand not only the beauty that our oceans have to offer a diver, but everything they have to offer humanity.”

Dicaprio added: “We have an obligation to protect our planet and all the species that inhabit it, and that is why I’m here today to celebrate Oceana’s achievements. For me and my foundation, Oceana is an absolute no-brainer to support because they deliver tangible results and that’s what we need. We need someone to deliver tangible results in this fight.”
