Write Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) minister Loyola Hearn and ask him to back up his words with action:
* Stop issuing new open-net pen aquaculture licenses and encourage the industry to move closed-tank containment
* Express Canada’s formal support for an international ban on deep-sea bottom trawling
* Start the Marine Use Planning process that manages our oceans with ecosystem integrity and increases Canada’s marine protected areas from 0.1% to at least 5% by 2010.
