Guest guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Make Fishing Fair "Fish are disappearing from the oceans, and fishers in developing countries are hauling in empty nets--all because of massive overfishing by rich countries, fueled by billions in subsidies every year. Already, 90% of big fish like tuna and marlin are gone. It's unfair trade, it's killing the oceans, and it's endangering a critical food supply. Next month, the WTO will propose new global fishing rules. This month, finance ministers around the world are deciding what those rules should be. That gives us a chance to make a stand--to tell our trade ministers and government leaders to oppose the subsidies that lead to overfishing, and to support fairness and sustainability for generations to come.To send a message to your country's leaders, simply enter your name, email address, and country.
