Stop the Sale of Sea Turtles as Food In New York City
Target: Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg
Sponsored by: Chris Parsons
Sea Turtles are being sold as food at Dahing Seafood Market on Mott Street in Manhattan. This petition is to inform Mayor Bloomberg so that the illegal sale of Sea Turtles at this market can be stopped.
In 2004 Mayor Bloomberg signed legislation outlawing the sale of products that contain endangered species.
All sea turtles occurring in U.S. waters are listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and are under the joint jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheries and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Of the 7 species of sea turtles, 6 are found in U.S. waters: green, hawksbill, Kemp's ridley, leatherback, loggerhead, and olive ridley. The 7th species, the flatback, is found only in Australia, are rare and likely to become extinct.
Please sign this petition to tell Mayor Bloomberg to stop this illegal sale.
