Dear Friend of the Sea,

Looking for a simple way to help the ocean today? Let the Administration know that safe fish farming requires strong, national standards and environmental safeguards to protect the health of the ocean.

Right now in the Gulf of Mexico, there is a dangerous proposal to move forward with fish farming — before there are any national standards. Over the next few weeks, the Secretary of Commerce is reviewing the Gulf plan and can stop it especially if he hears from concerned citizens like you.

If you haven't already, please join us by signing this petition in support of a sustainable future for US fish farming now — and get your friends involved, too.

Thanks for helping us start a sea change — from protecting the Gulf, to sharks, volunteer divers, and recipes, there’s something here for you no matter why you love the ocean!
