Greetings!

As you know, the situation is heating up concerning the resumption of commercial whaling of Pacific Gray Whales (see the article below, sent to me by Norma).

There is a Statewide effort to draw attention to the situation. Coastwalk California is engaged in this effort, and is organizing an event in Sonoma County. We invite you to participate in the Sonoma County May 23rd event - or participate in the event in your county.

Gregory Fearon, our new Board President, has agreed to be the lead on putting together the Sonoma County event. If you are interested in learning more about the Sonoma County effort - or helping - please contact Gregory at . Mike Reilly (Coastwalk Board member) is working to secure a great location on the coast for the event (Whale Sculpture at Doran Beach, near Bodega Bay).

Coastwalk California is committed to making this event a great success and to helping “Save the Whales”!

Feel free to forward this invitation to get involved - and if you cannot be directly involved in the events, consider writing a letter in opposition.

Thank you very much for all you do for our beautiful and fragile coast.
