Important notice to our readers and subscribers
We are sorry to have to inform you that this is the next-to-last issue of Coast & Ocean. Because of the State's budget crisis, the Coastal Conservancy cannot afford to renew the grant on which the existence of this
magazine has depended for more than 24 years. Subscriptions cover only part of the cost of production.
If you value Coast & Ocean, we would greatly appreciate it if you would write and tell us how you have found the magazine worthwhile and useful. Such letters might help build support in the future. Should the magazine be saved? Is it important?
If you have ideas on how to rescue Coast & Ocean, perhaps through a
partnership with another organization with a coastwide mandate, let us know. Likewise if you know of any sources of possible funding. Perhaps this crisis is the right moment to find a new format for Coast & Ocean, or to
do more on the Internet and with other electronic media.
Right now, however, we are sad to say that there will be no Winter 2009-10 Coast & Ocean, which was to have celebrated the magazine's 25th anniversary with a look at some extraordinary conservation victories along
the California coast, and major work in progress.
You can write to us at the address on the Contact Us page, or
send e-mail to calcoast@scc.ca.gov.
If we have your e-mail address, we will let you know if a
way is found to revive Coast & Ocean. Please send it to our
subscription manager, Ginger Hertz: ghertz@scc.ca.gov, with "sub info" in the subject line. We will gladly send more copies of this or any other
issue we have in stock to those of you who still have issues left in your
subscription. Information about refunds will appear in the next issue.
We hope you will enjoy this special issue on the Pacific Ocean as much as we
have enjoyed bringing it to you.
