** Stop a bill that would allow overfishing and cause serious damage to our oceans. **
Our oceans are in serious decline and need help now. Overfishing, marine habitat destruction, coastal development, global warming, and pollution are pushing our ocean ecosystems to the brink of collapse. Congress could help prevent this breakdown by reauthorizing and strengthening the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the primary law governing fishing in U.S. ocean waters.
Visit World Wildlife Fund to take action, or you can also help by calling your representative via the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and making the main points from the letter below. Please call on July 11, the National Call-In Day for Fish Conservation.
