CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Rossview Middle School Robotics Team has started an online petition to enforce coral reef protection laws in the United States and worldwide.

The robotics program is affiliated with the First Lego League, which requires teams to complete a themed project each year. This year’s theme focuses on the protection of the planet’s organisms and their environments.

The group has created a petition and needs 1,000 signatures before going to Memphis later this month for their next competition. As of Tuesday afternoon, the petition had 74 signatures.

The petition can be signed online.
