Support the Billfish Conservation Act of 2010

You can help Take Marlin off the Menu today!

Saving the world’s imperiled billfish stocks seems like a big job – and it is – but what if you could help make it happen in less than a minute? The Billfish Conservation Act of 2010 (H.R. bill 5804) went to the House of Representatives last month, and we are urging everyone who cares about healthy fisheries to click here to voice their support today.

It only takes seconds to enter your name and ZIP code to tell your Representative how much YOU care about the importance of having healthy billfish populations. The Billfish Conservation Act would close the U.S. to commercial billfish harvest, importation and sale. It would have a negligible impact on the commercial industry in the U.S. while helping increase the abundance of these important apex predators and also the value of the recreational fishery, which brings in billions of dollars annually but has a minimal impact on billfish populations.

Take action today to make sure that no billfish will end up in grocery store shelves or on restaurant menus again. Click here to do your part in Taking Marlin off the Menu!
