Roses are red, the high seas are blue ...
This morning the RFMO meeting got under way and so, being valentines day, we took the opportunity to kick it off with a nice positive gesture. We sent a couple of well-dressed Greenpeacers into Te Papa and presented each delegate with a rose and a poem...
Roses are red
The High Seas are blue
Implement strong interim measures and
The world will love you.
Apart from a couple of fishing industry types, the delegates were very happy to receive our token of good will.
And inside the meeting the delegates will each find a Greenpeace CD-ROM full of documents, images and video all making a very strong case for 'implementing strong interim measures' to stop bottom trawling on the high seas while negotiations continue for the next few years.
Comments on this entry:
The maderporarian corals are white
And red are the octocorals
If you fish as an immoral
Sometime you must pay
Take care for your business
Take care for your dollars
But also take care
For our beautiful corals
Neruda resurrected
