Pearl Jam - Amongst The Waves
PEARL JAM OCEANS
There is only one Ocean for everyone and everything.
It is a finite, precious resource under tremendous economic and environmental pressure.
Look after it.
Oceans...
- Cover 70% of the earth’s surface
- Provide up to 80% of the oxygen we breathe
- Are the protein source for 1 in 4 people worldwide
- Are home to 50% of all known species on earth
Eleven things you can do to look after the ocean for present and future generations:
1.
Support the Gulf Restoration Network
Pearl Jam is currently working closely with Gulf Restoration Network to help support the recovery and mitigation efforts in this region. We encourage you to visit
http://www.gulffuture.org/ today to do what you can as well to help make a difference.
For more information on the Gulf Coast Oil Spill, please visit Pearl Jam's activism page at

Be a voice for the oceans. Tell your elected officials that you support ocean protection policies.
Let President Obama know you support his Oceans policy, which was created to ensure that our oceans, our coasts, and the Great Lakes are healthy and resilient, safe and productive for present and future generations.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/oceans If you are a U.S. citizen, urge your Congressional representatives to support international agreements to project the world’s oceans. This is just the beginning of an international agreement that can help create a sustainable international management plan for the ocean commons, which would regulate and enforce both fisheries and extractive industries.
Urge your Senators here:
