"How shockingly destructive and historically shameful it would be if we did nothing while a great species was criminally slaughtered into extinction."

"U.S. ratification of Law of the Sea would support job creating investment and open new resources to our industries at a critical time for our economy."

"If the U.S. Senate declines to ratify Law of the Sea, I believe we will be doing the same thing."
