Adopt a Whale:
“Whale adoptions are perfect gifts for anyone who cares about wildlife
& the environment! Adopting a whale or giving a Whale Adoption as a
gift helps IWC (the International Wildlife Coalition, parent
organization of the Whale Adoption Project) stay on the job - moving
stranded whales and dolphins back into the water, studying whales at
sea, giving emergency care to marine mammals, working to protect our
ocean environment, assisting in disentanglements and discouraging
whale harassment. Join the Whale Protection Team.
The kit includes -- your official Whale Adoption Certificate, a
photograph of your whale, and a one year subscription to the quarterly
Whalewatch newsletter, which will keep you up to date on the
activities of your adopted whale and a whole range of marine and
marine mammal issues and topics.”
