Dear Colleagues:
I hope you will add your name to the attached letter, which asks Pascal Lamy, Director-General of the World Trade Organization, to push for as strong an outcome as possible in the WTO negotiations to eliminate harmful fisheries subsidies. Daniel Pauly, Boris Worm and Ussif Rashid Sumaila are the lead signers, and we hope they will be joined by scientists from around the world. To sign on, simply reply to mhirshfield@oceana.org and include your title and contact information. We would very much like your response by Wednesday, May 9; please feel free to write or call if you have any questions. Of course we would be delighted if you forwarded this to your colleagues; please ask them to reply to me. Thanks in advance, and thanks again for all you do for the oceans.
