West Marine is offering customers the opportunity to be an "Ocean Hero" and support World Oceans Day on June 9th, with sales of "No Fish, No Fishermen" t-shirts.
The following is from West Marine's website:
West Marine's mission statement is to "Improve and conserve marine habitats" so that future generations can enjoy fish and sustainable fishing. Most people do not realize that in spite of the vastness of the oceans, many fish species are seriously overfished and depleted. Millions of tons of "by-catch", fish, birds, turtles, etc., unintentionally caught by certain types of longlines and trawl nets, are dumped needlessly back into the sea each year. In addition, some bottom trawls "rake" the ocean floor disturbing and destroying bottom habitat.
