At 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 14 we'll be meeting at Ski Beach for a visibility event at Hubbs-SeaWorld. SeaWorld is helping design a massive, industrial-scale finfish farm that is currently under review to come to the coast of San Diego. This practice of industrial fish farming is bad for a multitude of reasons: it pollutes our waters, creates toxic algae blooms, spreads sea lice, entangles marine mammals, and puts fishermen out of business. Despite an outcry of opposition from local fishermen and conservation groups, SeaWorld is continuing to support this development: we're telling them to stop their support and forget the fish farm! So, join us from 1-2 p.m. on the 14 for a series of speakers including fisherman John Law and San Diego Coastkeeper Executive Director Phillip Musegas. Free pizza will be provided! Meeting location: 3099 Ingraham St, San Diego, CA 92109. View this event on Facebook
