OceanHealth.Org Take action for our oceans: Please ask President Obama to make ratification of the Law of the Sea Convention a priority for the Senate and his administration. A two-thirds majority vote is required in the Senate to pass the treaty, which has been waiting for more than 20 years to be signed by the US. Although Obama is taking steps to protect our oceans like no other president, we need to shop support for this treaty.

OceanHealth.Org Much needed marine protected areas were adopted today in California. From San Mateo County to Mendocino County, 11% of the ocean will be protected from overfishing. The process continues to protect more of California's coasts. Marine protected areas create marine parks, just like we have done for our land resources already. Their will be no future for our oceans without areas that are preserved.

State wildlife regulators on Wednesday voted to establish new protected areas off the central and northern California coast where fishing would be banned or restricted.

Many of the fish high in mercury are also being depleted in our oceans like shark, swordfish, and tuna. Take a look at this article the explains the issue and shares the FDA/EPA warnings for women and young children.
There is no safe level of mercury because any amount affects your brain and nervous system, but you can reduce your risk by eating lower on the food chain. Big fish also bioaccumulate other toxins, too
