2019 Donor Recognition
“Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference” – Kathy Calvin.
With your generous donation, we are able to support critical programs of our Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Bay Net and Team OCEAN docent programs prevented wildlife disturbances and educated the public about the importance of our sanctuary protections. The Whale Rescue network supported permitted responders on their mission to disentangle whales that become caught up by fishing lines, ropes, buoys and nets, dragging these items sometimes for thousands of miles, potentially leading to a slow and painful death.
You helped us make a difference and the ocean thanks you!
