Representative Walden Bello signs the Declaration on behalf of the government.
The declaration 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.
