Protect Our Oceans from Overfishing Petition

I think it is important to protect our oceans from overfishing because...(3,310) fishing has been stopped in Newfoundland, first settled in the 16th c. by Sir Gilbert. Americans paid Greenlanders not to fish sea salmon, to fish their rivers again, had dams removed, or 'ladders' built, even blown up. Didn't work. International cooperation in treaty must come soon, (once a marine technology student)." I recall that a former "Stars and Stripes" reporter, who started an organization trying to get the US and the countries of the world to cooperate in international fishing treaties, fish know no borders, was based near where I worked for 5 years, near 16th St. and Third Ave. in Manhattan next to the Quaker School on Stuyvesant Square. They have since put a statue of Antonin Dvorak, found neglected on a rooftop midtown, near to Peter Stuyvesant's, as he had lived nearby, composing the "New World Symphony" in a building torn down to be a Beth Israel Hospital Aids Hospice in a preservation fight. He has since been exhumed and reburied in the Czech Republic I think.
