Celebrate World Oceans Day!

Today is the first World Oceans Day! Here are some ways you can support healthy oceans:

Tell your representative to co-sponsor a national Healthy Oceans Act

Oceans are essential to our way of life, but below the surface they are threatened by global warming and habitat degradation. Tell your representative to co-sponsor Oceans-21, the Oceans Conservation, Education and National Strategy for the 21st Century Act. http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/nrdcaction_032709

Use this handy Seafood Selector to make sustainable choices

Choose fish that are good for you and the ocean with the Environmental Defense Fund's Seafood Selector and Sushi Selector.

Support local restaurants who are committed to sustainable food
