Name: Mighty Earth "Fish Yamaha Out!" Campaign Kickoff Meeting
Date: September 19, 2018
Time: 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM PDT
Event Description:
Care about the future of our oceans? How about access to fish and fishing? Then please join us for… “Fish Yamaha Out!” Campaign Kickoff! The U.S. has some of the most sustainable and profitable fishery management systems in the world. Unfortunately, big companies cut corners to pad their pockets at the expense of our oceans, marine ecosystems, and the livelihood of fishermen. Yamaha, a producer of both musical instruments and boat motors is spending millions to weaken current U.S. fishery policy and prioritize short-term profit over the long-term health of our oceans. And, they're in our backyard. They have a major headquarters right over in Buena Park, CA so we are in a unique position to make our voices heard and convince them to stop meddling in fishery policy. We can live in a world with healthy oceans AND profitable fisheries. If we get large companies like Yamaha to stop supporting harmful legislation that would allow for overfishing, we can protect our oceans for future generations. Join other concerned citizens and local organizations for a fun evening event to learn more about the campaign, help us strategize how to win, and take concrete action! Let's keep our oceans fishy! RSVP by clicking ‘going’ on the Facebook event to let us know you can make it, and bring a friend! Attendees are encouraged to support our generous hosts at Taco Surf over the course of the event by enjoying some food & drinks!
