Stop Corporate Bulldozing of Ocean Floor in Alaska - Take Action Today!

[Guest guest]

The web of life in Alaska is under assault by massive corporate fishing

fleets. Your help is needed to stop declines, some as great as 90%, in many

populations of sea otters, sea birds, seals, sea lions and other wildlife

that depend on abundant fish populations. Healthy Alaska oceans are

critical to supporting biodiversity, cultural and traditional food needs of

Alaska Native Peoples, and community-based sustainable fisheries. To take

action or get more information on this situation and to find out what you

can do, please visit www.AlaskaOceans.NET

 

In the coastal areas and seas of Alaska, dozens of species of fish and

wildlife are in serious decline and some are nearing extinction. Here are

some examples:

 

Steller Sea Lion: Almost a 90% decline in western Alaska since the

1970s; listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act.

 

Sea Otter: 90% decline in the Aleutians during the 1990s.

 

Bering Sea Spectacled Eider: 90% decline since the 1970s; listed as

endangered under the Endangered Species Act.
