Protect Nemo From Warming Oceans
The orange clownfish spends nearly its entire life protected within anemones on coral reefs. Warming and acidifying oceans resulting from our carbon dioxide pollution are destroying the clownfish's anemone and coral reef habitat.
What's more, ocean acidification scrambles the clownfish's senses. Acidic waters damage the hearing and smell of young fish, causing them to become attracted to their predators and unable to find their coral reef homes.
The federal government is considering protecting the orange clownfish under the Endangered Species Act. These protections would help reduce dangers to the clownfish and would encourage government action to fight climate change.
Please sign the petition today urging the government to protect the orange clownfish from climate change and other threats.
Dear Secretary Jewell,
The orange clownfish is in danger from ocean warming and ocean acidification driven by greenhouse gas pollution, which are degrading its anemone and coral reef habitat.

Please support the protection of the orange clownfish as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, including actions to address climate change. These protections will help make sure these beautiful fish survive in the wild and not just in the movies.
Thank you.
