Subject: Diaoyu/Senkaku marine reserve petition
***********************************************************

The marine environmental lawyer Tom Appleby, who was involved in the
creation of the Chagos archipelago marine reserve
(http://chagos-trust.org/about/chagos-marine-reserve), has started a
petition on change.org for a similar reserve centered around the
Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands. If you feel like signing it, go to the link below.

===========================================================

As tensions rise in the China Sea, Japan, Taiwan and China could easily
sleepwalk into conflict, with horrific consequences for all sides and the
world in general. A new focus is needed to end this brinkmanship. The
marine environment is in dire straights and desperately needs breathing
spaces. A marine protected area around Diaoyu / Diaoyutai / Senkaku would
demonstrate the global statesmanship of all the parties and help conserve
the ocean for future generations.
