Go, Fish!—It's time to end overfishing

It's Time to End Overfishing Once and for All

The ocean sustains us day to day with the food we eat, the water we drink, and much of the air we breathe. Yet, we allow overfishing and other harmful fishing practices to put it — and the people, wildlife, and coastal communities that depend on it — in peril.

Please add your name to our petition to end overfishing and protect our ocean by putting forward a long-term vision to guide our seafood industry. We need to show decision-makers at every level that we, as a country, demand a new kind of fishing for the future: one that delivers healthy ocean ecosystems, strong economies and vibrant coastal communities.
