Philippine Seas in Crisis Declaration

Greenpeace is calling on all Filipinos to become Ocean Defenders - a group who shows great concern for the sea, and who will raise awareness on oceans issues such as overfishing, habitat destruction and other threats such as climate change and ocean pollution in the country.
Fishermen and government representative Walden Bello sign the Philippine Seas in Crisis Declaration, which demands the creation of a roadmap recovery that will address the problem of overfishing and the degradation of marine ecosystems. Greenpeace is sounding the alarm on the crisis currently facing Philippine seas, and is working to promote the conservation, protection and sustained management of the country's marine resources. Globally, Greenpeace is calling for the creation of a network of marine reserves and an end to overfishing as solutions to restoring the health of the world's oceans.
