| Do you ever wonder if letters you send through Audubon’s Action Center matter? Consider this: Earlier this week, our Marine Conservation Policy Manager delivered comments from our supporters in Mid-Atlantic states to the Virginia Marine Resource Commission. The comments were in support of a petition to protect the Chesapeake Bay from industrial fishing practices, which are decimating a primary food source for Ospreys. Comments from Audubon supporters made up 44% of the total number of comments received! Your letters, combined with hundreds or thousands of other letters from people like you, definitely make an impact. |
