Dear Colleagues,

While I don't use business email to engage in political issues, I
believe that this petition from AVAAZ to the United Nations on putting
an end to ocean clear cutting is not a case of politics, but an
opportunity to speak for sustainability. This is one of the key pillars
of the Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Design. I invite
you to consider adding your voice to the voices of other human beings
from around the world. 

Banning the use of deep-sea chain trawling is a major step forward
toward the environmental responsibility we all seek.

Warm wishes,

Ken

Dear friends, 


 (

)

Our oceans are being decimated -- deep-sea trawlers are clear-cutting
our ocean floors leaving vast wastelands. A crucial UN fisheries meeting
is happening in 48 hours -- and it could be the turning point in the
fight against senseless ocean destruction, but only if enough of us
speak out now. Sign and forward to everyone:

)

Our oceans are being systematically destroyed and we have 48 hours to
raise the alarm. The seafood industry uses long chains of heavy metal
disks to drag nets across the sea floor in search of fish, crushing
everything in their path. This bottom-trawling is like clear-cutting a
forest to catch a parrot -- and only our outcry can stop it.

In two days, UN policy-makers are meeting to review the impacts of this
deadly practice. Pacific island nations are fighting to save the oceans
and have appealed to Avaaz members to stand with them. This is our
chance to win -- if enough of us speak out now, it will strengthen their
hand against big fishing countries, and will embolden serious players
like the US and Australia, who have already banned bottom-trawling in
their waters, to push for protection everywhere.

Let's build an urgent call to stop the senseless destruction of our
oceans -- and delegates will deliver our voices directly to the UN
meeting. Sign now and help us reach half a million voices in the next 48
hours:

)

Massive fishing trawlers systematically move from one deep-sea
ecosystem to another, crushing coral reefs, sucking up all living
creatures and leaving vast deserts behind them that won’t regenerate
for hundreds of years. In a single swoop, some boats are capable of
clearing an area the size of 5000 football pitches. Canada, Russia and
Spain lead the world in spreading this destruction throughout our most
diverse and precious waters.

Already, major fishing nations have had 6 years to study the effects of
bottom-trawling and move towards more sustainable practices. Most have
failed to live up to their commitments to ocean protection and
continue to direct huge subsidies -- over 162 million dollars a year --
to ocean clear-cuts.

This week’s meeting is our moment to turn the tide on this
destruction. An international team of marine scientists recently called
for a permanent end to deep-sea fishing, and the EU Fisheries
Commissioner has spoken out against government subsidies to deep-sea
trawlers. The momentum is growing, but it will take a massive global
outcry to turn the UN meeting into an important accountability moment.
Join the call to save our oceans, sign the petition now, and forward
to your friends:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_ocean_clear_cutting/?cl=1268862627&v=10241
)

Just last year, Avaaz members provided crucial backing for the UK to
create the world’s largest marine reserve. We also helped thrust a
meeting on whales into the international spotlight, winning an extension
on the global whaling ban. When we work together, we really do make a
difference in preserving our seas and the rich diversity of our
world’s creatures! Let’s stand together now with Pacific nations
and all ocean-defenders to usher in a new era of conservation and
protection.

With hope,

Stephanie, Iain, Antonia, Emma, Ricken, Alice, Wissam and all the Avaaz
team
