Tell President Obama that Senator Judd Gregg is Not a Change

According to media reports, New Hampshire Republican Senator Judd Gregg is being strongly considered for Secretary of Commerce. The Secretary of Commerce position controls decision-making for U.S. ocean wildlife – for example, endangered marine species and commercial and recreational fishing.

Senator Gregg has been a strong supporter of offshore aquaculture – the mass production of fish in huge floating cages in ocean waters. He consistently expresses support for an experimental facility in New Hampshire and pushes for federal funding for ocean fish farming projects.

Putting a strong supporter of offshore aquaculture in charge of the Department of Commerce, which controls U.S. marine fish, is a bad idea. This could threaten fishing and recreational activities, the marine environment, and coastal communities. Learn more about ocean fish farming below.

Tell President Obama to protect our oceans and not to choose Senator Gregg as Secretary of Commerce.
