Days to Save the Southern Ocean
To the CCAMLR Chair, Delegates and Secretariat:
As concerned citizens from across the world, we call on you to act decisively to secure the precious habitat of whales and other ocean species when you meet in Hobart, Australia. We call for an ambitious deal that protects the Antarctica's Ocean with the world's largest network of marine protected areas in the Ross Sea and East Antarctica.

In days, 25 countries will meet behind closed doors to decide the fate of Antarctica's Southern Ocean. Most of them want to save it, but Korea and Russia are leading an effort to scupper the deal for the sake of their own fishing interests. If enough of us raise our voices now, we can break open this meeting, isolate the wreckers, get behind the champions and help create a vital refuge before it’s too late.
The whales and penguins can’t speak for themselves, so the outcome is up to us. Once 750,000 people have signed, Avaaz will flood the talks with hard-hitting billboard ads to cause a stir and convey our message to key delegates. Sign the petition on the right to save the Antarctic Ocean.
