Tips for writing an impactful email
You can send our pre-filled message, or write your own.
Just remember these 3 things:
1. Keep it polite
We're asking the Minister to show bold leadership on protecting the oceans. They are not the enemy, so keep it respectful.
2. Be personal
Share what the ocean means to you and why you want to see healthy, thriving seas. The more personal, the better!
3. Spell out the risks
The health of the whole planet is dependent on our oceans. The Global Ocean Treaty will help safeguard our blue planet for future generations - but it must be ratified in time!
