Oceans
Article Abstract:
The environmental organization Greenpeace campaigns for the promotion and implementation of ecologically-sound fisheries management and the endorsement of the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary. The group also calls for an imposition of a moratorium on commercial whaling in the International Whaling Commission and implement strict laws on fishing to protect the ocean's ecosystem. The ocean, considered the world's largest ecosystem, is already overfished as reports from the US National Marine Fisheries Service show that around 1/3 of US fish stock are overfished.

Article Abstract:
The environmental group Greenpeace recommends that federal financial support for fossil fuel and nuclear power industries be rechanneled to help save the economy and maintain a clean and energy-efficient future. Greenpeace asks Pres Clinton to phaseout the 110 US nuclear plants to avoid further disaster. The president is also asked to withdraw his support on the producton and use of natural gas because it contributes to the worsening of the global warming.
