  • Dear Activist, Thank You for Hosting a Whale Watching House Party. Your
    702 H Street, NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20001 Tel: 202-462-1177 • Fax: 202-462-4507 1-800-326-0959 • www.greenpeaceusa.org Dear Activist, Thank you for hosting a Whale Watching House Party. Your participation is key to putting an end to the senseless business of killing whales once and for all. Greenpeace and whale protection have gone hand-in-hand since 1975 when we launched our first anti-whaling campaign. This winter, we once again are in the Southern Ocean bearing witness to the whale slaughter and giving our all to help as many whales escape the harpoons as possible. Our ships, the Arctic Sunrise and the Esperanza, left Cape Town in South Africa on November 20th to intercept the Japanese whaling fleet. On December 21st, we made first contact with the whalers and we have doggedly pursued them since. Greenpeace activists have successfully kept the whaling fleet on the run, positioned themselves in the path between harpoons and whales, and documented whales in agony from exploding harpoons. But, bearing witness to the whale slaughter on the high seas is not enough. We need you. Whaling is big business and we, consumers, have a role to play in bringing this bloody business to an end. In this kit, you will find resources that drive this point home to one particular company, Gorton’s of Gloucester, that can make a difference in the fight to save the whales. Gorton’s of Gloucester is wholly owned by Nissui, a Japanese seafood conglomerate and former whaling company that owns one-third of the current Southern Ocean whaling operation.

  • The San Mateo County Harbor District
    What is the Price of Dysfunction? The San Mateo County Harbor District Summary | Background | Methodology | Discussion | Findings | Recommendations | Requests for Responses | Attachments | Responses SUMMARY There is no way to sugar coat the issue. The commission governing the San Mateo County (County) Harbor District (Harbor District or District) is in disarray. It operates the District at significant yearly losses. Its commission meetings sometimes require police presence. YouTube videos mock the commissioners. Tenants’ rent checks are lost. Public comments about the commissioners are scathing. Financial reporting is anything but transparent. There are accusations of records destruction and excess benefits paid to commissioners. Lawsuits charging harassment fly between a commissioner and the District’s general manager. Video recording of commission meetings is abruptly suspended, and then reinstated. One commissioner loudly complains about the seating arrangement at meetings. Press reports frequently document the dysfunction. Social media is rife with criticism. A reporter for a daily newspaper claims that commissioners don’t “want to fix the problems, they just want to be right.” Meanwhile the property taxpayers of San Mateo County fund the District to the tune of $5,000,000 annually.1 The 2013-2014 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury (Grand Jury) received numerous complaints from the public about the District, including how the District awards leases, the alleged overcharging of lessees, the election process of commissioners, and a lack of transparency in the District’s financial reporting. The District’s office is overwhelmed by public records requests. The public’s disenchantment with the District has been reported on and documented as far back as 1963.

Whales are complex, often highly social and intelligent creatures. They are mammals like us. They breath air, have hair on their bodies (though only very little), give birth to live young and suckle their calves through mammary glands. But unlike us, whales are perfectly adapted to the marine environment with strong, muscular and streamlined bodies insulated by thick layers of blubber to keep them warm. Whales are gentle animals that have graced the planet for over 50 million years and are present in all oceans of the world. They capture our imagination like few other animals. The largest species of whales were hunted almost to extinction in the last few hundred years and have survived only thanks to conservation and protection efforts.
