The legislature passed the new protections for our marine ecosystems today. This result reflects the collective commitment of the hundreds who signed and stayed focused on the preservation of our waters. We should remain attentive as these policies move into practice to ensure the promised changes reach the ocean floor.

Let's pressure our MP's into passing legislation to save our marine life. Demand for something to be done by signing this petition today.

 

According to a recent study, our marine life is on the brink of mass extinction. To put it bluntly, our marine ecosystems are LITERALLY headed the way of the dinosaurs as a result of global warming, waste, and excessive fishing. And by "on the verge," they mean that we won't be able to say to our grandkids: "hey kids, let's got to Australia and see the Great Barrier Reef." This is a call to those of you who never want to live to see the day where our oceans become cesspools of human waste. Spread the word! Start by showing your support for change by signing this petition. Invite all your friends. Stand up. Speak out. Save our oceans.

The stories shared in the comments reflect a growing collective concern for the future of our marine ecosystems. I am currently working to distill these personal experiences into a formal briefing for our representatives to ensure they understand the gravity of this decline.

Seeing this groundswell of support confirms that many people share a deep concern for the future of our marine ecosystems. This momentum reflects a collective refusal to accept the current trajectory of our oceans. We are now in a much stronger position to bring these urgent demands to those in power.

Marine life is a precious creation and gift from GOD. As such, we must protect these priceless gems from over-fishing before it is too late.
