Dear Friends, 

We need your help. 

The California Coastal Commission (CCC)  will be holding a public hearing on December 15, 16, and 17, 2021, regarding U.S. Fish & Wildlife's proposed helicopter dispersal of over 1.5 metric tons of rat poison bait pellets in the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.

This public hearing will be virtual and held via Zoom. U.S. Fish & Wildlife will be trying to persuade the California Coastal Commission that they should be allowed to proceed with helicopter drops of over 3306 pounds of one of the most deadly pesticides (brodifacoum) known to wildlife since DDT. 

Please send your comments now to the California Coastal Commission voicing your opposition to this controversial and inhumane rat poison helicopter drop. Better yet, please sign up to deliver your public comment via Zoom during the December meeting. https://www.coastal.ca.gov/  

Richard Charter, Senior Fellow with the Ocean Foundation, has published an ebook describing previous island eradication disasters complete with incriminating details (obtained from FOIA requests) that U.S Fish & Wildlife does not want the public to see. You can download a free copy of Richard's ebook at http://poisonfreesanctuary.org/ 

Thank you for your support.
