Though the California Gray Whales are have a large enough population now to have been removed from the endangered species list, there are many more oceanic animals that need your help.

Here are some ways you can make a difference:

* Visit the World Society for the Protection of Animals, an international animal welfare organization recognized by the United Nations

* For information about helping the marine life right here in Orange County please contact the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Long Beach. They do great work with the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of our local wildlife.

* Save the whales! Join the American Cetacean Society and help protect our fragile marine ecology for future generations to enjoy.
