MESSAGE FROM AVAAZ.org:
-----------
Posted: 2 May 2012
Our oceans are dying. Beset by pollution and demolition industrial fishing, the magical and bountiful deep blue is turning into a barren desert. But in the next 72 hours, governments are considering a new rescue plan -- and we can help push it through.
Shockingly, governments spend billions subsidising the commercial fishing industry to pillage our seas. The new plan would end this scandal, craft a new treaty to protect the high seas, and establish critical marine protection reserves. But Canada, the US and Japan are threatening to water down or even kill it. Our only hope is to get behind Europe to champion the idea before it's too late.
This crucial meeting is being held quietly behind closed doors at the UN. Let's break open the talks and deliver massive global support to Europe to save our oceans. Sign the urgent petition and send this to everyone -- once we hit 500,000 signatures, we'll deliver the petition straight into the meeting!
