Many of the world's fisheries are already drastically depleted. Coral reefs and other critical habitat are badly degraded. And excessive pollution continues to threaten marine life and human well-being.
Our oceans and marine wildlife need our help.
The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea would help protect dolphins, whales and other marine species by improving international coordination of ocean conservation efforts, especially on marine protected areas and high seas fisheries and in the battle against ocean pollution.
Ratification of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea is long overdue. President Clinton signed the treaty in the 1990s. The 2004 Republican-led Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously endorsed it. President Bush and the Navy have both spoken out in favor of ratifying this important treaty. But this treaty has been held up in the Senate for years.
Please sign this petition today to urge your senators to stand up for ocean wildlife and support ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea!
We signed the “Urge Senators to Support Ocean Treaty!” petition!

Humans are te only kind of animal who would not have a bad impact on the world if it was to disappear. On the contrary, actually.
