Voice Your Support of President Bush's Ocean Conservation Plan!

Target: President Bush
Sponsored by: Care2

President Bush has been working with environmental conservation groups to create a list of endangered ocean areas around U.S. territories. Under the Antiquities Act of 1906, the president can protect areas of historic or scientific interest without congressional approval. President Bush is planning to use this power to designate marine monuments - that is, national parks for oceans. Such a designation would protect these areas, which include rich coral reefs and magnificent sea life, from fishing, oil exploitation and other commercial development. The Bush Administration proposal is a needed step in the continuing health of our world's oceans and ecosystems! It is important for the president to know that the public is in favor of his initiative. Voice your thanks to President Bush, and tell him you support his unprecedented marine conservation program today.

For more information on this proposal, see the NPR article Bush May Create Largest Marine Reserves in World.

Dear President Bush,

I write in support of your plan to designate marine monuments in our world's oceans. Your proposal will protect valuable ecosystems for the rich coral reefs and diverse marine animals that rely on our world's oceans for survival.

Together with the marine reserve around the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands you created in 2006, these marine monuments create a "blue legacy" for your presidency. Using the power you have under the Antiquities Act to protect threatened waters is a valuable use of your position.

I appreciate your dedication to conserving the delicate ecosystems in our world's oceans.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]

I am very sceptical about any bush plan because hidden inside always is something detramental to the eco-system and a boom for big business. I hope this so called "blue legacy" is not just some more double talk for "screw you little people".

We definitely need to support and preserve wildlife and our marine creatures, around the world. We should have started doing it years ago, but as usual people at that time, people were in the mode of, it will never happen to us-global warning and mass extinction of hundreds of animals. Anyway we must keep something for our children, and our children's children.
