Watch the trailer for the landmark film Change Makers, The Global Race To Save Our Seas, featuring Daniel Pauly and Rashid Sumaila.
Not enough countries have accepted the WTO Agreement to ban fisheries subsidies. Politicians won't change unless YOU tell them to!
Tell your WTO Representative that you support the Agreement, and want your country to be a part of the change - it only takes two minutes!
"Get involved in fighting what is not tolerable, and you will discover who you are in the process" - Daniel Pauly

Thank you to the 1,686 people who signed the historic petition to include a ban on High Seas fishing in the UN Treaty of the High Seas. Together with the physical mailing of this petition to decisionmakers at the UN during those final Treaty talks, it shows that we really can make a difference when we come together.
