Hello All--

The announcement on Georges Bank has just been issued.  The moratorium is
extended to Dec.31, 2012, with a review process to begin not earlier than
2010, as recommended by the Georges Bank Review Panel.

Many many thanks to all of you who have been involved in the effort to
secure a strong and meaningful moratorium in all the ways that you have
been: education and public presentations; presentations to the Georges Bank
Review Panel; speaking to politicians and government officials; circulating
petitions; responding to our Urgent Alerts in both Canada and the U.S.,
writing letters; contributing funds, and all the other ways that you have
been able to influence a positive outcome to preservation from petroleum
activity of the unique, rich, and very special place that is Georges Bank.

Please distribute this wonderful news widely throughout your networks.
Many thanks


For the waters and life that is Georges Bank,

Helen Lofgren,
Georges Bank Issue Chair

A word from our lawyers ...

Don't forget ... COPYRIGHT material, such as newspaper/magazine articles
cannot be posted on sust-mar without the owner's permission. It's against
the law. CROSS-POSTINGS (messages from other lists) are also discouraged.

In either case, why not tell us something about the issue in your own
words? Or ... send a clipping along with the URL where the original can be
found, or directions how to join the list it came from?

Takes a few more minutes, but makes for a more interesting sust-mar ... :)
