Urge Your Representative to Vote YES on Oceans-21 Legislation
Surfrider Foundation Action Network
Please CALL your Congressional Representative Today!
You have the power to help preserve and protect our oceans, waves and beaches by asking your Congressional Representative to support the Oceans Conservation, Education and National Strategy for the 21st Century Act (“Oceans-21”). Oceans-21 provides common sense legislation to ensure that our ocean water and marine life remain healthy.
The U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife and Oceans is considering Oceans-21 this month. Surfrider has been working with a coalition of environmental organizations to encourage subcommittee leadership to support strong provisions to protect, maintain, and restore coastal and marine ecosystems and resources, and to oppose weakening amendments.
The legislation is critical because we currently do not have mechanisms in place to ensure that our ocean ecosystems and resources become and remain healthy and productive. You have a chance to help turn this situation around.
Call now and/or send the email below to your Representative in order to get this important piece of ocean legislation passed through the House subcommittee without any weakening amendments to the bill. Tell your Congressman to vote Yes on Oceans-21 and to oppose any amendments that would weaken the bill.
The Capitol switchboard number is 202-224-3121. You can call and ask for your Representative’s office. Tell your Rep’s staff that you are a constituent living in the district and that you support H.R. 21.
