CENTER FOR MARINE CONSERVATION
|
|||
|
Dear Friend,
|
|||
|
The enclosed set of name and address labels is a FREE GIFT to you from America’s
|
|||
|
leader in protecting our increasingly vulnerable ocean planet -- the Center for
|
|||
|
Marine Conservation. I hope you enjoy using them as you correspond with your friends
|
|||
|
and family and help us spread the word to protect ocean wildlife.
|
|||
|
I hope, too, that they remind you just how much danger these beautiful marine species
|
|||
|
and their ocean habitats are in right now!
|
|||
|
Even today, after years of public outrage, dolphins continue to die in tuna fisheries
|
|||
|
of other countries and are still being cruelly and often illegally killed by gillnets
|
|||
|
and harpoons. And now, growing numbers of dolphins with malignant tumors and high
|
|||
|
levels of toxic chemicals in their tissues are washing onto U.S. beaches. The cause -
|
|||
|
undetermined, but the suspected culprit is pollution poisoning our oceans with toxic
|
|||
|
chemicals and sewage.
|
|||
|
And thousands of endangered sea turtles and other creatures continue to die each year
|
|||
|
unnecessarily due to wasteful fishing and over development, forces that keep these
|
|||
|
species in a fragile state.
|
|||
|
When it comes to the oceans, people take ... and take ... and take -- without ever
|
|||
|
giving.
|
|||
|
I trust, however, that you will give back.
|
|||
|
A tax-deductible gift from you now of less than a nickel a day can bring
|
|||
|
you into the ranks of the most influential and effective marine conservation
|
|||
|
organization operating today.
|
|||
|
At a price nearly half off the regular membership dues, you will receive a host of
|
|||
|
member benefits (more on these in a moment)_and, far more important the satisfaction
|
|||
|
of actually doing something to improve the ocean world we pass on to our
|
|||
|
children.
|
|||
|
The Center for Marine Conservation can put your membership donation to work right
|
|||
|
away to protect ocean wildlife, preserve marine habitats and prevent the marine
|
|||
|
pollution that poisons our watery planet.
|
|||
|
Your nickel a day can, when it joins the stream of other member donations, help stop
|
|||
|
water pollution at its source ... protect sea turtle nesting beaches from development
|
|||
|
... and defend seals, dolphins, and other ocean wildlife from the threat of
|
|||
|
entanglement and drowning in fishing nets and marine debris.
|
|||
|
Will your gift really help? Definitely yes!
|
|||
|
over, please

You’ll be part of a team that’s already
|
|||
|
convinced Mitsubishi and the Mexican government to abandon plans to build a massive
|
|||
|
salt production facility on the shores of critical calving and breeding grounds for
|
|||
|
gray whales.
|
|||
|
won a major court victory that closed thousands of square miles to U.S. longline
|
|||
|
fishing because of its threat to the survival of Pacific leatherback sea turtles.
|
|||
|
helped create National Marine Sanctuaries critical to the survival of marine wildlife
|
|||
|
-- from endangered manatees in the Florida Keys, to humpback whales off New England’s
|
|||
|
Stellwagen Bank, to sea otters in California’s Monterey Bay.
|
|||
|
These are prime examples of hard fought victories and critical efforts that are
|
|||
|
working to improve the health of our marine environment.
|
|||
|
But our programs need your backing.
|
|||
|
You can help us spread our message to protect ocean wildlife by using the enclosed
|
|||
|
labels on all your correspondence. Also, take a moment to review the practical tips
|
|||
|
on the back of the form -- share them with your family and friends --and put them
|
|||
|
into action today!
|
|||
|
And won’t you also please make a tax-deductible contribution of just $15
|
|||
|
--or more if you are able -- to help save the dolphins, whales, sea turtles,
|
|||
|
and other amazing marine creatures who so desperately need support from all of us
|
|||
|
these days!
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
spend. Please let me hear from you now.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Sincerely
|
|||
|
P.S. Of course, your personalized labels are a gift, yours to keep whether or not you

watery planet of ours -- stand to gain if you join. Isn’t that really worth at least
