Ask Obama to Stop Sea Turtle Killing

Bookmark and Share

The Obama administration's recent decision to increase the number of sea turtles that can by caught by industrial fishing fleets threatens to push these highly imperiled species over the brink.

Loggerhead and leatherback sea turtles are federally endangered species in very real danger of extinction, but instead of protecting them, Obama has decided to allow more sea turtle killings. These species won't recover if Industrial fishing fleets continue to snag turtles with their deadly hooks -- now is the time to increase protection, not decrease it.

Please take a moment now to send President Obama a letter urging him to reverse his lethal decision
and give sea turtles a fighting chance at survival.
