“The fatal hooking of a false killer whale less than a month into 2013 should be a wake-up call to longline fishers that they need to put the protection plan into effect immediately.

“Not only are pesticides harmful to farmworkers, but they can also be harmful to bees that are necessary to agriculture. That’s what the recent science is emphasizing. Bees are critical to many food crops and to healthy ecosystems, and bees are just one indication of how pesticides can have a negative impact on our lives. We know that crops can still be very highly productive without the use of harmful pesticides, which at the same time will keep people and entire ecosystems safer.”

Still, some parts of the industry are pressuring regulators to take actions that will undermine this progress.  So we must do everything possible to strengthen their resolve to stand by the tough decisions they’ve made, so we can again have sustainable fish populations and a sustainable fishery.”

“This week marks the anniversary of one of our nation’s most tragic environmental disasters. When it comes to oil spills, whether in the Gulf of Mexico or in remote areas like America’s Arctic Ocean, the testing of chemical dispersants just can’t be done in the moment of the disaster. It has to be done ahead of time to avoid the chaos we witnessed during the disaster response to the Deepwater Horizon spill.”
