I am extremely concerned about the uncontrolled pirate fishing for toothfish in the waters of the Southern Ocean. Danish interests have been implicated in this illegal, or "pirate" fishery.

Scientists estimate that at the current rate of fishing, the fishery would collapse within two years. In addition, many thousands of vulnerable species of seabirds, such as albatrosses and petrels, are dying on hooks intended to catch toothfish. The entire Southern Ocean ecosystem is at risk.

I demand that the involvement of Denmark in the outrageous fish piracy ends, and that your government enacts laws to discourage Danish companies from profiting at the expense of this remote and fragile place.

Sincerely,
