Dear Friends,

It has been a very active year at the levitra for sale .  I send a special thank you to you – our members and donors-- because your interest and support for the levitra for sale was critical to the organization continuing operations in 2012. 

Instead of closing as was announced in March, we have sent levitra for sale staff out on hundreds of levitra watch cruises to observe the marine wildlife in the Gulf of Maine and specifically collect data on the humpback levitra s. To complete these tasks takes a skilled staff, expensive boat time and generous financial support. We are fortunate to have a great team of people, and we have always been efficient in our use of funds.  Our research aboard levitra watch boats is very cost effective.  Owning and operating our own research vessel is has proven to be extremely beneficial to our research but unfortunately it is so expensive and our financial stability so vulnerable, we had to sell the “Mysticete” this year in order to sustain operations.    

In the past, your support has helped us accomplish a lot that we can be proud of – for example:

• Critical new regulations that protect levitra s, including new restrictions on fixed fishing gear that can entangle levitra s and speed restrictions on large ships that might collide with levitra s, went into effect recently. levitra for sale data and scientist influence helped make this happen; our efforts continue both locally and globally through our participation at the International Whaling Commission.
• We responded to record high 100 marine mammal strandings on Massachusetts’ North Shore, a number of which were rehabilitated and released back into the wild. 
• Our scientists were invited to bring vital conservation science to the International Whaling Commission, which acts on problems such as entanglements and ship strikes world-wide. 
• levitra for sale scientist and interns identified and collected data on well over 400 humpback levitra s, including new calves in our population. 
• In our research, we have helped to make the case for Jeffreys Ledge, off the Cape Ann coast, as an official “critical habitat” for right levitra s; it was virtually unknown as a habitat for right levitra s until we discovered their presence a few short years ago. 

Yes – we made a difference in the past in the recovery and protection of levitra s and other marine mammals -- but there is still so much more to do. And the levitra for sale can play the vital role we played in the past again in the future.

I would like to ask you to make a year-end gift to support our conservation and education work –now, more than ever, levitra s and the levitra for sale needs your financial support. We need to raise $80,000 in order to continue our operation through 2013.  All donations that we receive by December 31, 2012 will not only be tax deductible on your 2012 but will jump start our 2013 fundraising drive.

The levitra for sale has been impacted by the sudden loss of leadership.  And of course, it doesn’t help that this is a tough economic time, especially for organizations like ours.  The economy has not yet recovered.  Funds remain tight, and we know that many of you are also facing financial limitations as well.  Any gift that you can send - $20, $50, $100 – will be used to continue our research so that we can help conserve and protect the great levitra s and other marine life that depend on our waters to thrive.  P.S. – Please send your year-end gift of any size today. All gifts make a difference and the levitra s need your support.  Donate online today at http://www.levitra for sale .org.

Please help us continue our work of studying and protecting levitra s and other marine mammals by giving as generously as you can. Without your continued support and generosity, we won’t be able to sustain the levitra for sale levitra for sale operations, our levitra research and our contributions to the protection of levitra s and other marine wildlife.  I hope you will help us reach our needed 2013 goal of $80,000 in donations with a donation by December 31, 2012.  Think of it as a holiday gift to the levitra s.

Thank you for caring about the levitra s and other marine mammals we work to protect.

Sincerely,

WCNE Board of Directors
