Thanks to the folks at the Environmental Coalition of PEI for hearing our call. They sent a letter to our Minister of Fisheries asking him to recind his decision to allow trawlers to fish in the Gulf.
And the Green Party of Canada issued a release on the subject as well. Leader of the Green Party, Elizabeth May said, “His decision shows complete disregard for the integrity of the marine ecosystem and throws the precautionary principle to the wind. Atlantic herring play a critical role in the marine ecosystem as a major food source for larger fish, whales, and other marine mammals. Their decimation will impact all species and further degrade Atlantic biodiversity.” The whole release is below.

Take a minute to send your own letter to the Minister!
