Banning trawling in Hong Kong waters

If you haven't received this email from others to vote can can you go to the WWF website: http://apps.wwf.org.hk/eng/sos2011.php?utm_campaign=sos&utm_source=wwf&utm_medium=enews   

or follow the Oceanic Love instructions and email from Gary (at Hemingways) I'm forwarding below...

Dear All,

Well we all see them everyday here in HK, trawling the bays and wiping out sea-life in it's entirety. The government has been putting together a package to compensate the fishermen in return for a total ban on trawling within HK waters. This ban is about to come up for vote on May 18th, and if a positive result, there may be a slight glimmer of hope for the future health of our oceans. Please share this mail with your friends and email the legislators that will make the difference. It should only take you a couple of seconds, and I hope you feel that the oceans survival should be worthy of at least a few seconds of your busy schedules.

Best Regards
