Pew Oceans Commission Final Report Released
- Here's an excerpt from the Pew Oceans Commission web site at http://www.pewoceans.org, "Overfishing at sea, over-development along the coasts, and increasing pollution from cities and fields are leading to decline of ocean wildlife and the collapse of ocean ecosystems, according to a landmark report released today [June 4] by scientists, fishermen, conservationists, business leaders, and elected officials. The independent Pew Oceans Commission calls for immediate reform of U.S. ocean laws and policies to restore ocean wildlife, protect ocean ecosystems, and preserve the ecological, economic, and social benefits the oceans provide. The comprehensive report, entitled America's Living Oceans: Charting a Course for Sea Change, is the result of a three-year, nationwide study of the oceans, the first of its kind in more than 30 years."
