We the undersigned call upon all nations to unite in the protection of our oceans, upon which we all depend. 


Our Oceans, the lungs of our planet, are in need of our urgent care and protection.


The world has already consumed 90 % of the global stock of large fish on the high seas. One third caught by illegal, unregulated vessels. 80% of ocean pollution comes from land based activities. Disease to marine life is on the increase. Disease caused by marine pollution to human life is on the increase. Habitats are being destroyed. Plastic, oil, chemicals, sewage, hydraulic fracturing; the list of poisons is too long.


There is not enough education on this subject. There is not enough open disclosure on this issue. We are placing a call to create a global race for the oceans; a race in which every person, every nation can contribute and make a difference.


This is not a petition against a group or activity. Most have had a part to play in the situation that exitsts today. This is a petition for unification, and greatness of spirit.


It is time for an Olympian Event for the Oceans, where instead of mankind pitting itself against the seas, we come together to find our greatness in service of the seas, for the sake of all life. The oceans unite us, so let us make that our opportunity for greatness, evolution and unity.


Thank you for taking the time to consider our request. We ask that your nation support, and be a part of, this possibility, for the sake of all life and for the next generations.
