Happy Valentine’s Day to you all!
We want to share with you an urgent call from marine biologist Terry Lilley to his global audience of “Ocean Lovers”, comprising all surfers, divers and all those who care about our environment 
“Hi Guys and Gals!
If you are concerned about rising sea levels and pollution altering your favorite surf spots, you are not alone anymore! Well-known surfers, like Billy Hamilton & Dick Brewer in Hawaii, are also concerned - big time!
We recorded some great interviews with them on Kauai - posted on our website through Save Our Sea’s YouTube Video Link!
I think you find these interviews and our footage very interesting!
Along the same lines I encourage you to look at the most recent show I produced for and with DRIVE-TV in CA, featuring the bizarre & rich underwater world of the Central CA Coast off California!
From my most recent visit to Hawaii we also have an interview with Lyon Hamilton (Laird’s Brother), and some unreal surf footage of Andy and Bruce Irons at their home town break. This is a surf spot that almost never gets filmed, and we filmed it from a precarious vantage point, looking strait down a 200-foot cliff!
We are currently producing TV shows in Kauai and California about famous “Watermen” (and women), featuring their “Art of X-Treme Sports” in the context of their visions & thoughts about our changing environment.
We currently raise funds to sponsor not only our TV shows, but also to perform detailed underwater research & ocean monitoring of our well-known surf reefs. This is super important to all surfers as the reefs are changing fast! I have video records of major environmental changes at several well known reefs within a short six month period…
Over time we will air these movies on TV and on our SOS website (through YouTube), while offering presentations in form of an extended outreach program to schools, and surf & dive clubs.
So: Sign up with us at SOS and we come visit your school or organization and provide you with a great touch-&-feel “Ocean Show” on land!
Supported by scientists from NOAA, NASA, National Geographic and several other non-profit ocean groups, we raise additional funds to continue our education program for kids and adults on Kauai and elsewhere.
Feel free to contact us TODAY to become a SOS Member, and to participate in any other capcity in our growing SOS program!
We study our reefs being exposed to rising sea levels, and thus the change of our surf. Once we have accomplished enough studies we can share our results and help to define reasonable solutions for pending issues around “sea level changes”. Without these studies we are just lost in the ‘dark of guess work’, with useless arguments bouncing back & forth that won’t help anyone!
My suggestion to you is the following: Please, go to our SOS website (www.SaveOurSeas.org) and enjoy our great footage — and DONATE TODAY: your valuable time & $$$ (or both!), or direct businesses toward our direction to sponsor our TV activities and research efforts (bytw: The California Show is called “In Motion”, and airs on Channel 10.)
We owe it to our children to study and protect the ocean that has given us so much joy. Check out this photo I took of Billy Hamilton surfing with his dog at Hanalei!
You can forward my message to anyone you wish who may help with the study of the sea. We cannot Save Our Seas unless we “Study Our Seas”!
Aloha,
