Turn down the noise - save our marine life!
To the European Commission:
As citizens from across the world, we call on you to stick to your environmental commitments and reduce the negative impact of commercial shipping within European waters by adopting a "blue speeds" limit for commercial shipping - setting a speed ceiling at 75% of ships' maximum design speed.

But our oceans have become noisy, with commercial ships drowning out the natural sounds of the ocean and putting our marine life at risk.
Now Europe could turn down the volume with the stroke of a pen – by supporting a “Blue Speeds limit” proposal. Experts say just making ships go 5% more slowly could bring noise pollution down by a quarter!
Europe is about to appoint a new Commission, giving us a perfect window to get this plan up top on their agenda. Join now and let’s build a citizens’ call too great to ignore:
