Where’s the buzz?

BY: Andy Sharpless

Last week, USA Today’s Nick Jans reported on the triple ocean victory in the last four months – three closures of federal waters totaling an area twice the size of Texas. Nick wonders how the largest act of conservation in our nation’s history could have slipped below our collective radar screens. Don’t blame us, Nick. We issued press releases, e-mailed our supporters and I even blogged about it. Twice.

Since other news agencies treated the victories as “snoozers,” Nick took it upon himself to emphasize the importance of these closures, and the threats still facing our oceans in this succinct yet informative article. Thanks, Nick.
