World Leaders: Save our oceans now!

To world leaders:

As citizens from across the world, we are deeply concerned by the over exploitation of our oceans. We urge you to commit to set aside at least 30% of national waters as marine reserves and also actively work to establish them in international waters. Our oceans are vital to all life on this planet and we must take action to reverse their decline before it’s too late.

World Leaders: Save our oceans now!
Our oceans are on the brink of complete collapse. To give them a lifeline, scientists say we have to protect 30% from overfishing and pollution. In just days, our governments could vote to do it.

President Obama and other leaders are about to attend the world’s biggest conservation summit. On the table is a proposal supported by island nations to protect almost one third of our oceans. But Japan and other countries strongly oppose the bold plan, and now the vote hangs in the balance.

If we launch a tidal wave of public pressure from every nation across the globe, we can stop the opposition and create a global mandate to save our oceans. Sign now -- when we reach one million, Avaaz will deliver our call right into the global summit.
