International Declaration of Reef Rights

The Issue

In honor of the International Year of the Reef in 2008, Reef Check is requesting you to sign our Declaration of Reef Rights shown below. We would like to present the Declaration along with a list of one million names to all coral reef country governments in January 2009. The purpose of this pledge is to highlight the high value of coral reefs and to encourage all people and governments to support coral reef conservation. After reading the pledge please fill out the form below and encourage your friends to sign up. You must include your full name, country and an email – but if you want to be kept informed about progress on the Declaration and coral reefs, please fill out the complete form. Thank you for supporting coral reefs.

Bob PackerPetition StarterI was born in Barbados which is a small island in the caribbean. This is where I spent endless hours growing up around the beach. My days were spent mostly Surfing, but nearly every day revolved around the ocean. When I was younger I did not pay much attention to the changes taking place before my eyes that are so apparent today. I have witnessed entire reefs along stretches of beach simply die and disappear over the years. Along with the reefs went the fish and sea life that was so plentiful. I am convinced that Global Warming is the cause and we need to do something about it NOW before it's too late. Our future generations need us to step up and make significant changes all over the world otherwise they will be the one's to loose out.
