Target:James L. Connaughton, Chairman, Council on Environmental Quality Sponsored by:Care2
The Bush Administration has proposed establishing fully protected marine monuments in the unspoiled waters of the Central and Western Pacific Ocean. These waters are some of the most unique geological and biological environments on our planet, with more than 14 million sea birds, endangered sea turtles and the coconut crab all making their home in the proposed monument area. It is also the deepest point in the planet, home to giant underwater mud volcanoes and life-creating hot water vents.
The president's plan would be a dramatic conservation effort for our troubled oceans. But it is sure to face opposition from commercial interests, including harmful fishing and deep sea mining. The Council for Environmental Quality needs to hear from people who support protecting these remote and unspoiled waters, too!
Urge the Bush Administration to withstand the pressure from commercial interests and go forward with their plan to protect our ecologically extraordinary oceans!
We took action on “Support Critical Ocean Conservation Plan”!

The decisions our country makes in the next 10 years will reflect if we believe our future is related to a healthy earth and oceans or if we view our future as not part of mother earth.

We have so few water areas that haven't been destroyed in some way or another. Please protect what is left.
