You already know that, don’t you?

We’re trying to educate citizens in Dana Point and surrounding cities that our ocean is in danger due to pollution. And much of that pollution can be eliminated if we all remember to keep our streets and sidewalks clean, to avoid unnecessary watering and runoff into the sewers and then into the harbor and our ocean.

Since you are already aware of the problem, you can really help. I hope you’ll join our new organization and our goal of helping clean up our ocean—actually, your ocean and harbor.

We’re starting with our kids, educating them to the problem, and relying on them to help educate their parents and siblings. We believe we need a long-term, multigenerational effort if our mutual goal of cleaning up our ocean is to be achieved.

For only $40 we can teach a 5th grade student about this problem, and teach him or her what we must do to help solve it. If you can help us with only one scholarship, you will still be making a major contribution to the future of an entire generation of youngsters. We are striving for 300 scholarships per year. After gaining this experience at the Ocean Institute, they will take this information home to share with family members and neighbors. Education is the key to the cessation of pollution. See the kids in action by clicking on Scholarships, and Cleanups.

We are also eager to promote the installation of smokers’ outposts throughout Dana Point. These outposts will take the place of ugly, inefficient sand ashtrays. Click on Smokers Outposts to see the Landmark bronze cast aluminum model. We need at least seventy-five of these in Dana Point, just to handle the restaurants, fast food outlets and coffee shops, places where people dispose of butts on the ground—only to have them float down the storm drain system to the ocean.

Please give as generously as you can to this worthy cause. Many thanks.
