Letter to the President
MCBI board member Jim Greenwood, who was instrumental to our efforts to establish the recent Pacific marine national monuments, is now asking President Obama to stop overfishing, one of the most damaging practices in our oceans. Mr. Greenwood and Bruce Babbitt co-chaired a group of prominent scientists and policymakers that sent a report titled Oceans of Abundance to President Obama which recommends what he should do to restore abundant oceans that offer a sustainable source of food, employment, and diverse wildlife for the American people.
