NSF Speakers

NSFC hosted guest lecturer Peg Harrington of the National Environmental Trust's 'Conserve Our Ocean Legacy' (COOL) campaign,(www.oceanlegacy.org) She discussed her organization's efforts to promote responsible, sustainable fisheries here in New England, including their efforts aimed at the National Marine Fishery Service and the New England Fishery Management Council. She also included discussions regarding petitions on specific fishery issues, including the Magnuson Stevens Sustainable Fishing Act.

Please visit the Conserve Our Ocean Legacy to see how divers are making an important difference nationwide. According to this website, divers who join the campaign are taking the first step toward becoming active advocates for healthy oceans. Over 300 dive clubs, dive shops, dive organizations, and dive businesses have joined. They recognize the need for a unified, mobilized coalition of divers who are willing and inspired to speak up for the marine environment.
