Currently there are over 6200 messages being sent to Greenpeace Japan.
Here are some of the messages:

We cant keep destroying our natural world. There are many other possibilities for a location for this base.　We ask you to listen to the many voices in Japan who ask you to stop this project!!!!　Our children deserve a chance to experience these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.　Many people are looking for holiday options that provide encounters with our beautiful sea creatures. SOS Save Our Sea creatures!!!!!!!!! (09/12)

While issues of joint international investment in various types of infrastructure or capital projects are an essential part of economic sustainability and growth, this should not supercede the need to protect those areas of the natural environment that offer extensive opportunities for research in biology and conservation.
It is also a test of the competencies of regional planners and environmental engineers to find equally amiable solutions to this problem, in terms of growth and conservation.
The issue concerning the dugongs habitat will be a test for the Japanese, that will ultimately demonstrate to the world where they stand in terms of unbridled expansion versus a sustainable approach to development. (09/12)

Japan is one of the most innovative countries in the world. The inventions and culture of Japan is beloved and has inspired millions. These actions are below Japan. By doing this, Japan would not only be dishonoring itself, but the rest of the world. Look for another answer. Japan is better than this. (09/11)

The defence of our amazing ocean biodiversity and the people and creatures who depend upon them is much more important than an aristrip for US war makers. (09/11)

The conservation of the environment and its flora and fauna is our responsability for the future generations.　Keeping the dugongs and their habitat is our duty.Coral reefs are already in danger, so we don't need to make more damage. The more so that we know now the impact to these fragile ecosysthems. Ignorance is not an option here.So with this message, I hope that this message will touch you as a human being.
Concerned in Tokyo (09/11)

Remember that extincion is forever, and there will be no way to recover from all the damage caused by this construction.　By the way, is it so necessary?　Can it be moved to somewhere else where it does not cause so much damage? If you think about it, destroying is pretty much easier than creating (or mantaining in this case!) but the bigger the effort in keeping life, the bigger the rewards... many, many people will be grateful to you if this air base is not built, because you are protecting the life of the reef, animals and above all, the people that survives of it.　Thank you very much for reading this letter. I hope you will make the best decision to preserve the duggon and all the other beings there. (09/11)

the 12 last dugongs are more precious than construction of an airstrip. Saving dugongs and other species is saving the planet and is also allowing the future generations to enjoy a better world. You have the power to make it better. thanks,(09/11)
