Dear Colleagues,
We have a significant opportunity to achieve greater protection for deep-sea features off the California coast. Please join us (http://marine-conservation.
Dear Senator Boxer,
We urge you to support strong protections for a system of deep-sea seamounts, banks and ridges in federal waters off the California coast. These ancient, undersea islands, extinct volcanoes and deep-sea mountain ridges support a diversity of rare and unique species and host concentrations of a variety of marine wildlife….
