Federal Fisheries Policy Reform Project America’s oceans are in trouble and need our help. Pollution, habitat destruction, mismanagement and overfishing have impoverished our ocean resources. Thus, the nation’s fisheries have been declining precipitously for decades, with more than 90 percent of the world’s large predatory fish, including tuna, swordfish and marlin disappearing from our oceans. The Federal Fisheries Policy Reform Project calls upon the National Marine Fisheries Service to develop and implement policies, regulations, and fishery management plans designed to eliminate overfishing and protect the marine environment. It works with scientists, fishermen, policy makers, regional fishery managers and conservation organizations throughout the country. Learn more by visiting WWW.ENDOVERFISHING.ORG - click here ! |

CLICK HERE TO HELP BLUEFIN TUNA: actionnetwork.org/campaign/blue_fin We need your voice to remind the National Marine Fisheries Service that it's not just a good idea to set rules that will help fish like bluefin tuna survive, it's the law. Take action now . CLICK HERE TO PROTECT SHARKS: actionnetwork.org/campaign/dusky_sharks Sharks are the most powerful predators in the ocean, but millions of years of evolution did not prepare them for the increasing number of hooks and nets that are killing them. Take action now. ISSUES OVERFISHING Even if we only catch the species we eat, we need to stop killing more fish than can naturally be replaced. Unsustainable fishing has devastated global fish populations. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in 2002 about 60% of the commercially important stocks in U.S. ocean territory were "overfished," yet fishing is allowed to continue. Learn more... HABITAT DESTRUCTION Fish and other wildlife are losing their habitat. One example of this problem is the devastation created by bottom trawlers which drag nets the size of football fields across the ocean floor to capture bottom dwelling creatures like shrimp, cod, flounder, and rockfishes. A single pass from a bottom trawler can destroy miles of fish habitat. What's left behind is a dead zone, like a forest after being clearcut, except that it takes centuries rather than decades to grow back. Learn more... BYCATCH Fishing technology is tragically inefficient. Every year, commercial fishing fleets discard millions of pounds of "non-commercially valuable" marine life known as bycatch. These billions of creatures are the collateral damage of fishing technologies like hooks and nets that empty vast areas of the ocean. Every year, casualties include birds, turtles, seals, dolphins, and whales. Learn more... FACT SHEETS The Bush Ocean Legacy (PDF) During its final year, the Bush Administration must ensure strong regulations for ending overfishing and promote thorough environmental reviews. National Environmental Policy Act (PDF) On May 14, 2008, NMFS proposed a new environmental review process for MSA activities. This fact sheet outlines our main concerns with the proposed NEPA rulemaking.
