{page:WordSection1;}-->Dear MARMAMers, Saturday, July 6th,is International Save
the Vaquita Day!! This is an annual event similar toEarth Day, but with a
specific focus on raising awareness and appreciation ofthe world’s most
endangered marine mammal, the vaquita (Phocoena sinus). Events around the
globe direct the attentionof people to the plight of this tiny porpoise
species, and what needs to bedone to save it from extinction. There are
booths, games, music, freeprizes, educational brochures, inspirational talks,
face painting, and severallife-size models of vaquitas on hand to draw
attention to and appreciation ofthe vaquita, Mexico’s “Panda of the Sea”. The
primary goal isto make as many people as possible aware of the vaquita and its
plight, andspur them to act. The species is nearly extinct, with <22
individualsleft, and is declining at about 50% per year! We will have a
simplemessage for folks about what they can do to help. Secondary goals are
togather signatures for our petitions to the Mexican government, and
supportother vaquita conservation efforts. The event is designed to be fun,
aswell as educational, and kid-friendly! Go to our website for more
informationand a complete list of locations:
