Conserve Our Ocean Legacy meeting

*LAUNCH DATE: THURSDAY, MARCH 13TH
TIME: 7PM
PLACE: SOUTH STREET SEAPORT MUSEUM, 12 Fulton Street, New York City, 10038

COOL is a nationwide effort aiming to educate and mobilize thousands of people
in eight cities across the country in the next two months to take action on
ocean conservation. Ocean Action month is dedicated to promoting community
activism and ocean conservation in NYC. Right now our oceans are in trouble.
Commercial fishermen with nets a football field size wide and several stories
tall are sweeping up fish populations faster than they can reproduce.
Overfishing has already declined large fish stocks like tuna and swordfish by
90% in the last 50 years. If left to continue along with other environmental
stresses scientists that by 2048, global fish stocks could collapse.

The time to act is now. The National Marine Fisheries Service is releasing a
critical rule about overfishing in the next two months and the public needs to
be ready to comment in the face of powerful commercial and political opposition.
