16 November, 2004: UN General Assembly - High Seas Bottom Trawling
To Continue Unchecked But The Tide Is Turning |
|
In a historic first address by Greenpeace to the UN General Assembly and on behalf of the
Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, Karen Sack challenged world governments to safeguard the future of the oceans.
"The environmental NGOs on whose behalf this statement is being made, believe that there is enough knowledge for states to take immediate action to ensure a vibrant, sustainable and equitable future for all of our oceans.
Don't let short-term needs sacrifice long-term viability. Take the opportunity of this anniversary to act, and meet the vision for clean and healthy oceans for now and for the future."
Watch the UN webcast of Karen's speech (real media).

Spanish Advertisements
Spain is one of the world's most prolific
bottom trawling nations in international waters and is opposing
proposals for a moratorium. The coalition has placed the following
adverts in Spanish newspapers and Oceana/WWF/Adena has launched
a cyberalert to Spanish President Zapatero
urging Spain to support the moratorium.
Translation: It's like in some movies,
a ship* comes, takes him away
and you never see him again.
* : In spanish, the word "nave" can mean both a ship or spaceship.
These adverts were posted in El Pais and El Mundo by Greenpeace on Saturday,
6 November.Click
