  1. What's the point of having "Marine Protected Areas" if you allow Bottom Trawling?

    "The UK government has opened a public consultation on bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas (Stage 3 MPA consultation). They are asking for citizens’ opinions on whether destructive practices like bottom trawling should be allowed to continue inside Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs)."

    Captain Paul Watson was arrested in Greenland while on his way with his crew to stop illegal whaling activities by a Japanese vessel. I'm posting this from an email sent out by the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, and asking you to contact the Ministry of Justice in Copenhagen to prevent his extradition.

    To the Ministry of Justice,

    I am writing to express my shock at the arrest of Captain Paul Watson by Danish police in Greenland when the Captain Paul Watson Foundation ship, the John Paul DeJoria docked for refueling.

    The police said they were acting on a red notice issued by Japan for Captain Watson's arrest because he dared to stand up against the Japanese whaling vessels killing whales in international waters, in violation of the International Whaling Commission restrictions.

    Europe has banned whaling, and Denmark is part of the EU. I would not have thought that arresting a man who has done nothing but spend his life defending marine life and our oceans was in the Danish public interest. Why act as an enforcer for the Japanese whaling industry when no other country has felt compelled to do so since the red notice was issued?

    Please take a stand against this unjust act and prevent Captain Watson from being extradited to Japan. The world is watching closely, and any harm that comes to this dedicated defender of our oceans will be noted, affecting Denmark’s reputation.

    With hope and expectation that you will do what is right.
