Subject: Danger for dolphins

Dear Anne, Mother and baby dolphins are in danger in Belize Help protect them from offshore drilling—donate by July 27» In its first few days of life, a mother whistles to her newborn calf to ensure that her baby will always recognize her, and she can keep it safe from danger. But right now, the government of Belize is poised to give oil companies the right to explore for oil using noisy techniques that can interfere with these mother-calf communications—and can even kill dolphins and other marine animals. Oceana is fighting to put a national referendum in place that would let the people of Belize protect their dolphins and coral reefs from offshore oil exploration and drilling. But we can't do it without your help. Join the fight to protect dolphins—Help us raise $30,000 by June 27» Oil companies have already convinced the government of Belize to secretly award them the right to drill in the middle of Belize's reef. Unless we act now to stop them, they will soon begin using deafening seismic testing and air guns in the search for oil – this could be devastating to the dolphin pods who call the reef home. Oceana is leading a nationwide campaign to put the decision back in the hands of Belize's citizens – and help them pass a referendum that would stop offshore drilling for good. We're running educational ads on the dangers of drilling, developing scientific reports that underscore the importance of the reef, and running a house-to-house outreach campaign across the country.   But the oil companies have money, influence and connections. Your support today will help ensure we have the resources to fight back, and make sure the people of Belize can act to protect their dolphins and barrier reef from deadly offshore drilling.   Will you stand with us to save Belize's dolphins and the Belize Barrier Reef? Donate today to support our campaign. Thank you for joining us in this fight. For the oceans, Audrey Matura-Shepherd Vice President, Oceana Belize   P.S. Please make your secure donation right now to help us reach our $30,000 goal by June 27 so we can save Belize's dolphins and barrier reef.   Oceana.org | Join | Contact Oceana | Privacy Policy Text JOIN to 50555 to sign up for Oceana text alerts.

Dear Anne, Thanks for answering my recent call to action to save the last 340 beluga whales of Cook Inlet. You can do even more to help these endangered whales by alerting your friends and asking them to make their voices heard, too. Forward this message directly or click here to send a copy of my original message to anyone you know who might want to send a petition for beluga survival. Thank you. Dear Anne, BELUGAS AND MINING DON'T MIX! The Pebble Mine threatens two different populations of beluga whales. We can't let the mining giants sacrifice these amazing creatures for the sake of corporate profits. Speak out now! There are only five populations of belugas left in Alaska and the proposed Pebble Mine threatens two of them! Please sign our new Petition to stop the Pebble Mine and save beluga whales. Alaska's Cook Inlet beluga population is down to its very last 340 individuals. But if mining giant Anglo American gets its way, the white whale's habitat will be invaded by a new port, increased shipping traffic and pollution plus other industrial activity -- all to service the monumentally destructive Pebble Mine. Meanwhile, Bristol Bay's population of some 1,600 belugas depend for their survival on the bay's world-renowned salmon runs, which could be destroyed by Anglo-American's mega-mine and its estimated 10 billion tons of contaminated waste. Tell Anglo American that you refuse to sacrifice Alaska's beluga whales to the corporate bottom line. Thanks to your activism and support, we fought for and won endangered species status for Cook Inlet belugas -- also called "sea canaries" for their incredibly beautiful songs. More recently, the Obama Administration designated 3,000 square miles of Cook Inlet as "critical habitat" for these endangered whales. You and I didn't fight to save these last 340 belugas, only to see them wiped out by the Pebble Mine! That's one more big reason we need to stop this mine before it starts. Please make your voice heard on behalf of belugas. Tell Anglo American to abandon its plans for the Pebble Mine now. Sincerely, Frances Beinecke President Natural Resources Defense Council
