…petition to protect Palau’s waters
Per the Island Times, the Steering Committee of the Palau National Marine Sanctuary is circulating a petition online, hoping to stop the reopening of the Palau National Marine Sanctuary to commercial fishing.
The petition states: While it is understood that there is a need to seek ways to bolster our revenue earning capacity, short-term solutions should not jeopardize well thought out long-term policy objectives established for our Republic by the Palauan people.
The Sanctuary expresses a monumental environmental policy choice and commitment by the Government and people of Palau that cannot and should not be easily trifled with. While we appreciate the efforts of the 11th OEK, we believe there is a multitude of unexplored alternatives resulting in sustainable revenues that return social and environmental gains, that reflects our deep wisdom and connection to the ocean, which has cradled our lives and sustained our culture for many generations.

Thanks for reading. Have a fantastic weekend, friends.

Should this be the official Husk election coverage label? Yes or yes?
Bonus Link The Guam Daily Post has been publishing regular stories in the past couple of weeks about the cost of living on the island. Here’s my opinion: This is important work. Election season brings a lot of empty promises from people who are in the position to change the quality of life for every resident on the island, not just the ones who are closest to them (or who they’re related to). I, as a voter and a taxpayer, am so (fucking) tired of hearing the same empty promises and hearing the same excuses (“we have no money!”) post-election as to why authorities can’t deliver on their promises. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to afford to live on Guam. The cost of living is an important issue that deserves to be discussed thoughtfully and rationally. Brainrot political candidates need not chime in. Ideally, I’d like to see Guam’s leaders engage in a thoughtful discussion oriented toward a resolution (or resolutions!) that can reasonably be carried out.
Bonus bonus: This morning I came across this Truth Check Training free course from the Center for Black Health and Equity, which made me look up other media literacy courses and I found this from the News Literacy Project. Absolutely here for more media literacy!
