We're Saving the Oceans

Now that the first Medusa girls book is officially turned in, I'm cleaning house on a bunch of tasks that have been taking a back seat for the last month. First on the list was making the donation to Oceana, in honor of Forgive My Fins release week. Thanks to everyone's comments during Fins Fest, we tallied up a total of $174.75 to help protect the world's oceans. Here's the letter I got in response:

Dear Tera,

Thank you for your generous contribution of $174.75 to help protect the world's oceans.

With your help we're beginning to turn the tide on ocean destruction. Thanks to your generous support, we can make progress on our marine conservation campaigns and programs. Campaigns that have already made a difference for our oceans.

We've already protected over 1 million square miles of sea floor and successfully fought to end the illegal use of driftnets in the Mediterranean. You can see a complete list of Oceana's victories at http://na.oceana.org/en/about-us/our-victories.

To learn more about our victories in the making, visit http://na.oceana.org/en/our-work.
