Canada failing to support moratorium on high-seas bottom trawling

Blame Canada! The Canadian High Commission in various countries got a timely reminder to stop undermining a global moratorium on high seas bottom trawling at the UN. "Sea Mounties" in New Zealand, huge banners in Sydney and protests in Chile marked what many environmental organizations are calling Moratorium Monday.

Take Action:

Tell Canada to stop blocking a moratorium on bottom trawling (or dragging, as they call it).

As a Canadian, this makes me very sad. We should be in the forefront of taking seriously environmental issues.
