Aimee Teegarden In A Bodysuit: 'Friday Night Lights' Star Surfs To Save Oceans (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

Actress Aimee Teegarden has teamed up with Oceana, a nonprofit ocean advocacy group, to spread awareness about environmental threats like pollution and over-fishing.

The "Friday Night Lights" star, who is a longtime surfer, shot a public service announcement for the organization at La Jolla Cove and in the waters near Santa Barbara Island in California's Channel Islands National Park.

"This experience made it clear that we need to identify these unique and important areas in the ocean and do whatever we can to save them," Teegarden said.

The southern California coast is home to underwater kelp forests and graceful sea lions, who "zip in and out of the green fronds" while Teegarden snorkels.

The Channel Islands and the surrounding waters are home to more 2,000 plants and animals, 145 of which are found nowhere else in the world, according to the National Park Service.

According to its website, Oceana "is the largest international organization working solely to protect the world’s oceans," having protected 1.2 million square miles of ocean since 2001.

The organization's more than 500,000 members have helped back scientifically-based initiatives around the world, winning victories such as marine reserve expansion and increasing protection for vulnerable sea life such as turtles and dolphins.
