There are a few different places you guys ask for donations and or subscriptions - Is there any specific detail of just how the money will be utilized. I am all for funding a good cause when it truly funds the cause and not just a way to syphon money off similar to how robo-callers work. Happy to join the financial cause if it makes sense
Very good news letter. Nice to see some good news along with the bad. More needs to be done. With all the pollution in the waters around the world, I find it astonishing that anyone would voluntarily eat sea food.
