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!
|
||
At the same time, you’ll receive CMC’s benefit-packed New Member Welcome Kit ... a
|
||
free subscription to our exciting full-color quarterly newsletter, Marine
|
||
Conservation News ... more steps you can take to protect our oceans regular
|
||
legislative updates and action alerts ... and an official membership card.
|
||
All that for less than a nickel a day -- an amount you really can’t afford not to
|
||
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
|
||
choose to join us. But think how much you -- and your loved ones who share this
|
||
watery planet of ours -- stand to gain if you join. Isn’t that really worth at least
|
||
a nickel a day?
|
||
P.P.S. And, if you are able to send a gift of $15 or more, as a special new member
|
||
bonus, I’ll send you our exclusive dolphin tote bag. It’s made of navy cotton canvas,
|
||
features three playful dolphins, and it’s a great way to show your support and
|
||
protect the marine environment.
