Nana, Help protect penguins, seals, minke whales and the ecosystem they need to survive. Let Secretary of State Clinton know that you support making the Ross Sea a fully protected marine reserve. A region of the Southern Ocean called the Ross Sea is the most pristine coastal sea on earth — but it is under serious threat from industrial fishing. Here, literally at the bottom of the world, commercial fishing vessels come in search of Antarctic toothfish. You probably know this fish by another name — Chilean Sea Bass. What you might not know is that without it an ecosystem that supports vast populations of amazing creatures like penguins, seals, minke whales and colossal squid couldn’t exist. That's why Greenpeace, along with a coalition of other groups, has been working closely with the US delegation to the international body responsible for overseeing conservation efforts in the Ross Sea. We're calling for this area to be established as a marine reserve and asking the US government to continue supporting conservation efforts. I'm actually part of the official delegation myself. But it's not enough for them to just hear from me. Let Secretary of State Clinton know that you support making the Ross Sea a fully-protected marine reserve and thank her for being a champion for conservation. If 25,000 of us can let Secretary Clinton know in the next 48 hours that we support her efforts to protect this amazing place, we'll send a strong public message to the administration as they figure out their position before critical meetings begin this summer. About 71% of our planet is covered by ocean. Almost all of it is currently open to exploitation -- with devastating consequences. This has to change and it can start with the Ross Sea. An entire ecosystem is counting on it. We have a chance here to make history. It's ambitious, but that's why I work for Greenpeace. Take action today and help make it possible. Sincerely, John Hocevar Greenpeace Ocean Campaign Director
