“My guns are out and I am taking aim at the UN’s Agenda 21, an initiative which started in 1992. Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.”
Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests were adopted by more than 178 Governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992. The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created in December 1992 to ensure effective follow-up of UNCED, to monitor and report on implementation of the agreements at the local, national, regional and international levels. It was agreed that a five year review of Earth Summit progress would be made in 1997 by the United Nations General Assembly meeting in special session. The full implementation of Agenda 21, the Programme for Further Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Commitments to the Rio principles, were strongly reaffirmed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held in Johannesburg, South Africa from 26 August to 4 September 2002. “In short, Agenda 21 outlines, in detail, the UN’s vision for a completely managed society, dictating the process to be used for industry, agriculture, housing development, and especially education. It’s an all-encompassing plan to rule from an all-powerful central government.”
Agenda 21 is “Sustainable Development” and that it seeks to abolish private property and prepare children for global citizenship, ultimately aiming to reduce the population. States shall cooperate in a spirit of global partnership to conserve, protect and restore the health and integrity of the Earth’s ecosystem starting with ocean Catch Share Programs and Sector Separation creating a sustainable program to our marine ecosystems and those to which may be allowed to use. Please review my choice as an American and an individual in supporting all Legislation aiding our managers rather than bring down our system! Please support legislation to improve the federal fisheries management system and avoid reliance on massive, arbitrary fishing closures. The Fishery Conservation Transition Act (S. 3594 / H.R. 6316) will give managers the tools and resources to address chronic deficiencies in data collection and science while safeguarding the strong conservation standards of the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
The massive closures currently being implemented in the South Atlantic are just the latest example in a series of fishery management "train wrecks" that will force anglers to stay at the dock unnecessarily and impact coastal economies around the country.
Please support S. 3594 and H.R. 6316 and push for passage during the lame duck session. Thank you for your attention to this issue.
