30 days to save our seas!

Nevermind90

Overfishing threatens fish stocks and fishermen's livelihoods. For healthy oceans and a viable future for both our fish and fishing communities, I urge you to vote so that the EU sticks to international agreements and timelines for the recovery of fish stocks. We count on you to use the Parliament's new powers. and follow the example of countries such as the United States, which are now fishing at sustainable levels.

Why this is important

The seas around Europe used to teem with cod, herring and other fish, but because of overfishing, these and other species are now in serious trouble. Europe’s seas and the communities that rely on them are suffering from decades of gross mismanagement, but in the next 30 days, we have a chance to turn that around.

Europe’s fisheries management structure (the Common Fisheries Policy) is currently being reformed and the momentum for change is building. Now a key decision on the future of our seas rests with the 25 Members of the European Parliament's fisheries committee.

Signed. Thanks for posting it.

Mark Kurlansky's book Cod tells the fascinating and highly unfortunate tale of the demise of cod.

Not to mention that overfishing is one of the main enemies of the monk seal among many other sea species.
