Regulate Shipping to Protect Arctic Wildlife
Target: Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
Sea ice in the Arctic is disappearing as global warming causes climate change. Less ice will extend the shipping season, putting marine animals into more frequent contact with ships while they migrate. More shipping will also introduce invasive species and increase the risk of oil spills.
Who's in danger? Beluga whales will be disturbed in the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia where they share a narrow corridor with ships. Polar bear cubs and seal pups are also in particular danger from oil spills.
In our fight against global warming, we need to take a preventative approach. Reducing the effects of climate change will not happen overnight, so in the meantime, we must adjust to the hazardous conditions that put our most valuable wildlife in danger.
Urge Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to demand stricter shipping regulations in the Arctic that will protect our marine animals.

We have already driven hundreds if not thousands of ocean species to near extinction, when does it stop? We have to start putting the environment above greedy demand for everything that makes our lives "more convenient"!! Honestly, we ALL need to start taking responsibility!

We need stricter laws on shipping to help save what little we have not destroyed.
