Dear friends,

Imagine healthy oceans, teeming with life, with fish protected and caught sustainably for the benefit of the millions of people around the world who rely on them for food and jobs. Imagine if we could create large sanctuaries in the waters of the Pacific - a place where over 60% of the world's tuna comes from, home to diverse ocean life and vulnerable communities on small island states, protected from reckless plundering by massive fishing ships.

That's why I'm working to defend our Pacific.

We have a unique opportunity to make this vision a reality in the next week.

A Pacific tuna fisheries meeting will take place in Guam that has the opportunity to create large marine reserves in the Pacific Ocean and deliver sustainable tuna supplies. It can protect critical juvenile tuna populations and other ocean life such as sharks. It can ensure that our children and grandchildren know what a healthy ocean looks like.

But some decision makers don't care. 

The USA, South Korea, the Philippines and Taiwan don't have a problem with overfishing tuna to extinction. If they have their way, the coming meeting will be nothing less than a blank check signed over to industrial fishing fleets that regularly engage in overfishing.

You have the power to stop this.

Add your name to the many already asking for a marine reserve in the critical Pacific Commons areas and for sustainable fishing without destructive technology - necessary steps that will rescue the Pacific.

In 7 days, I know we can collect enough voices for the oceans that belong to all of us, not just narrow fishing industry interests - but I can't do it without you.

For the oceans,

Sari Tolvanen
Oceans campaigner, Greenpeace International
