Save the Pacific tuna

ORIGINAL: Greenpeace

Petition to the leaders of the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan and the USA: 

If we want healthy oceans and ample tuna for the future, we need marine reserves and changes in the way we fish TODAY. 

We urge you to take action to save Pacific Tuna at this year’s Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission meeting in Guam. We call on you to extend the closures on the Pacific Commons areas, ban the use of destructive Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) with purse seine nets that are wiping away young tuna, sharks, rays and turtles in the Pacific, and to cut by half the catch of bigeye tuna - already facing decline. 

We will deliver the petition on March 26th - we have just one week to reach our target!
