Take notice! The governor of a beautiful State in the middle of the Pacific, a politican from a political party that denounces the effects of global climate changes, declares “…2008 to be the International Year of the Reef” — That is quite remarkable and worthwhile a loud applause!
We want to add a message from “Save Our Seas” Board Member, marine biologist Terry Lilley, who just came back from Kauai. With his photo & HDV camera he captured big waves (he rides them, too), underwater creatures, rainbows, flowers, and people - people who not only have influence and financial resources, but also a big heart for the ocean. These famous people became motivated to join this campaign to protect our oceans because of Terry’s sincere efforts during his short visit (…talking about how “One person can make a difference…”).
To learn more about this effort, read Terry’s message below, and feel free to contact him via our contact form:
Two weeks ago I gave a talk at the Princeville library in Kauai about the changing reef out at Hanalei Bay. We may all have a different opinion as to why the sea levels are rising, but the bottom line is they are, and it will affect this beautiful bay, its surf and local community.
Please take notice of the article coming out in this particular magazine, and which you can request from me personally per email. That this article is in a prestigious magazine is not important, but what we do with the scientific information we have learned is very important!
We all love the ocean and many of us have made money from our love of the ocean. It is time we give back and protect what we love. Hawaiians for thousands of years have developed ways to protect what gives us life and enjoyment, and I feel it is time to follow the old ways, but with new equipment!
Please support Save Our Seas in our mission to document the changes in this beautiful bay and other coastlines around the world. One day we will have to tell our children what we did to protect this beautiful place, and I will tell my kids “I did everything I could with my knowledge and resources”.
Soon we also will have a chance to share with you who on Kauai has opened his & her heart toward our effort, and what these great people decided to do with their resources.
Enjoy the photos as it may not always look this way without your help. Please forward this email to anyone you choose who loves the ocean.
Aloha and Mahalo for you support,
Terry Lilley, Marine Biologist

There is nothing to add to this (we agree with Terry full-heartedly…), and encourage you to sign up on this form so that Terry can send you personally his article(s), and inform you about “how to preserve, protect, restore our oceans.”
