Support Oceans 21 for Healthy Marine Ecosystems
Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: Pew Environment Group
Sponsored by: Pew Environment Group
From hazards like roadway oil that makes its way to the water and development that eats away at coastal habitats, our world's oceans are in trouble. But Congress has a chance to act now. Oceans 21, legislation introduced in the House of Representatives, establishes a national policy to protect, maintain and restore marine ecosystem health.
Oceans 21 provides common-sense solutions to help marine ecosystems in crisis. The bill will be voted on in the House Natural Resources Committee before the end of July. Please write your congressional representative urging them to support Oceans 21, to oppose weakening amendments to the bill, and, ultimately, to work for enactment of this critical legislation.

I live in Oregon where there are massive dead zones along the coast for miles. Commercial fishing has over fished to the point that salmon fishing was banned for the first time in history.
