"Thank You Ocean" Campaign

Dawn and I saw a billboard advertising the "Thank You Ocean" campaign on Saturday on Fulton near Auburn. From the About section of the web site:

ThankYouOcean.Org is the website for the California Public Ocean Awareness Campaign, “Thank You Ocean”, a statewide campaign organized by NOAA National Marine Sanctuary Program and the State of California Resources Agency and implemented by the California Ocean Communicators Alliance. The campaign was made possible in part by the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, NOAA, the California Ocean Protection Council and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

Contributors to the “Thank You Ocean Campaign” include the Hive Advertising Agency, The Ocean Channel, Uncle Productions, Jim Toomey and the Blue Frontier Campaign, and many others who have volunteered their time, expertise and passion.

The “Thank You Ocean” campaign was designed to instill in Californians a sense of personal connection and responsibility to our ocean and coast. ThankYouOcean.Org provides access to everything ocean in California including how to learn about and where to experience the ocean, the impacts of daily decisions on ocean life, ocean conservation issues, and what to do to help the ocean.
