Save our Oceans
| On Friday March 5, the UK government closes a public consultation on whether or not to create the world’s largest Marine Protected Area around the Chagos Islands. Commercial fishing companies have voiced their opposition and are trying to keep these reefs open for business as usual. We can’t let that happen -- coral reefs are dying, and fish are fast disappearing from the oceans. This week's decision could be the catalyst that saves our oceans. Together, let’s send the UK government a tidal wave of global public support and urge them to protect oceans for future generations. Sign the petition below, and it will be delivered to Foreign Secretary David Miliband on the March 5 deadline: |

who are these ppl anyway that we need to ask for to save the oceans or nature anyway...
they sit in their offices having no clue about anything, and take decisions which affect many species, and wildlife...
As long as ppl wont take responsibility for themselves and stop allowing others to take the decisions...we will have always problems...
