Sena's time-sensitive message

Here is her video, posted on Facebook, and below is her letter to the editor, submitted to the Hartford Courant. Please help in this effort if you can.

Dear Editor,

I am a 13-year-old Mansfield CT resident, and have been advocating for the ocean since I was 5.  Every time I visit the ocean, I am astounded by its exquisite beauty, and now it is being threatened. I write to express concerns about a pressing, time sensitive bill that is currently in the U.S. House of Representatives. This issue will affect our entire ocean ecosystem.

There is an effort in Congress to pass a bill (H.R. 4239) that will gut the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The MMPA has been in place for 45 years and is a fundamental safeguard for our increasingly threatened ocean animals. For example, there are around 450 North Atlantic Right Whales left, and without the MMPA, they could soon go extinct.

In a few days, Congress will hold the fate of thousands of animals in its hands.  I ask anybody who reads this to contact your Congress person asking them to vote NO on H.R. 4239.

I want all future generations to have a safe home, and without a healthy ocean this is impossible. Please help our fight to save the ocean, the planet, and our future.

Respectfully,

Sena Wazer
