NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS TO BE PART OF THE ACTIVISM TO RESPECT OUR MARINE ECOSYSTEM - SEA LIFE and BEACHES
1) I do not take sea creatures including shells from the tide pools. I can take pictures of them with my camera.
2) When I go to the beach, anything I take with me, I bring back out. I don't leave any garbage there.
3) While I'm at the beach, I can take a bag and fill it with refuse that has washed up and throw it away properly.
4) I do whatever possible to recycle all things that are not organics. I will check with my city to see where I can take things like old cell phones and electronics, batteries, nail polish, paint, plastics, and other items.
5) I will investigate what nonprofits and other organizations are involved in my area with preserving or reestablishing the marine ecosystem. I can support them through money donations or by volunteering. (Beach clean ups can be a great way to meet like minded people.)
6) I will choose one sea creature and learn everything I can about it this year.
7) I will not buy sea shells from shops nor items made with them because dredging for shells is ruining the ecosystem too.
8) I will consider where any sea food I eat is sourced and avoid eating any seafood that comes from Chinese or other countries where ships use Forced Labor (Labor trafficking or slavery.)

MEET THE PEOPLE WHO ARE REBUILDING NEW YORK HARBOR BY ESTABLISHING OYSTER BEDS!
Once New York was called The Big Oyster, but people ate the oysters and soon enough, with a hundred years of dumping waste too into the water, there was no ecosystem of marine life in the harbor. This video is about the efforts to reestablish the humble oyster and how important it is to the ecosystem.

SHOULD WE BOYCOTT EATING FISH CAUGHT BY CHINESE OVER LABOR TRAFFICKING (SLAVERY)? I THINK SO!
Labor Trafficking means that people are tricked into or actually abducted to perform work without being paid, underpaid, or as slaves. This is a serious issue. And as much as I hate the idea that fisherman might loose their livelihood, I don't think anyone who thinks of slavery or labor trafficking as serious should be eating these fish.
According to this broadcast, frozen fish, most fish you eat at fast food restaurants, and fish you buy at certain named stores, probably has been fished by people who are being labor trafficked.
The investigation includes the fact that some of these people who are forced to labor are gone for a couple years at sea, their families do not know where they are, and they are desperately even sending messages in bottles to be freed.
PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS SPECIAL REPORT WHICH IS BREAKING NEWS TODAY and decide how you will protest! Contact the stores and restaurants and tell them what you think!

HEAL THE BAY BEACH CLEAN UPS include NOTHIN BUT SAND and SUITS ON THE SAND
It's more fun to clean the beach with a group - more like-minded people to meet.
But if you take away everything you took in every time, you are an ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST!
If you're reading this post from some other part of the United States or the world, check the Internet to find your closest beach, lake, or river clean up.
