In just a few weeks the Australian federal government will make one of the biggest conservation decisions in Australian history when it decides whether or not to create a network of marine sanctuaries in the South West.
It's a decision that will have a major impact, and it is a decision that could make or break the chances of survival for many unique species of marine life. Be part of this historic decision.
Just watched The End of the Line - this is available on instant play on Netflix - Great documentary about global overfishing - lots of scary and some positive as well.

To satisfy the increasing demand for shark fin soup, fins are cut off of millions of living sharks and the mutilated animals are then thrown back into the ocean to die—a practice known as "finning." Though the U.S. outlawed this practice in 2000, the current law is difficult to enforce.
Fortunately, federal legislation to address this issue is advancing. Congress is currently considering the Shark Conservation Act (H.R. 81/S. 850) that would protect sharks from this gruesome practice. This legislation passed the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate Commerce Committee. As the year draws to a close, the U.S. Senate – the final legislative hurdle on the path to ending finning in the U.S. – is planning to create a package of related bills which may include this critical legislation.
Please complete and submit the form below to add your name to the petition to the bill's sponsor, Senator John Kerry. He has the power to move the bill forward by pushing for its inclusion in the package of bills for Senate consideration. We must encourage him to do everything he can to make sure it is included. Sign today, we'll deliver your signatures on December 10.
Remember to personalize the email message below by expressing your opinion in your own words; it's much more effective.
San Diego Oceans Foundation has been promotion responsible ocean stewardship since 1985 and this year has been particularly bad for their fund-raising efforts.
