this is in aid of those fishes we eat!
Fish are disappearing from the oceans, and fishers in developing countries are
hauling in empty nets--all because of massive overfishing by rich countries,
fueled by billions in subsidies every year. Already, 90% of big fish like tuna
and marlin are gone. It's unfair trade, it's killing the oceans, and it's
endangering a critical food supply. Next month, the WTO will propose new global
fishing rules. This month, finance ministers around the world are deciding what
those rules should be. That gives us a chance to make a stand--to tell our trade
ministers and government leaders to oppose the subsidies that lead to
overfishing, and to support fairness and sustainability for generations to come.
