Action alert: Protect Marine Sanctuaries from Pollution! - before Jan 5, 2007

[for US residents]The California coast is home to some of the most magnificent marine habitat in the world. Ocean waters from outside San Francisco Bay all the way south to Monterey Bay and Big Sur have been recognized for their beauty and biological diversity and are protected as National Marine Sanctuaries. But these sanctuaries - Cordell Banks, Gulf of the Farallones and Monterey Bay - are threatened by pollution from cruise ships and jetskis.Finally, after years of planning and public pressure, sanctuary managers are proposing new, stronger regulations that would prohibit cruise ships from dumping sewage or waste of any kind into sanctuary waters and prohibit the use of jetskis throughout the Monterey Bay Sanctuary.Please send an email supporting these regulations and help keep our oceans clean and wildlife-friendly. Comments are due before January 5, 2007. Take action now.http://action.foe.org/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=6247
