Tell #Congress: No Factory Farms in Our Oceans The Marine Aquaculture Research for America Act of 2026 (#MARA) seeks to boost #aquaculture development, by removing necessary regulatory steps for open-ocean fish farms to gain approval. Aquaculture operations cram thousands of fish into cages housed in the open ocean, releasing #chemicals, animal #wastse, #antibiotics, and excess #feed into nearby waters. Fish that escape from these facilities can DECIMATE local populations by spreading DISEASES to NATIVE #fish and outcompeting WILD populations for resources. The #pollution they emit threatens endangered animals like #sharks, #whales, and sea #turtles. They privatize what should be a public resource, **closing off ocean waters for a single company’s benefit** Can you send a message to your Representatives today alerting them to the HARM aquaculture can cause and asking them to OPPOSE MARA? We’ve already written it for you! (But adding your own thoughts is worthwhile). https://nation.centerforfoodsafety.org/mara-aug26
