ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND CREDITS
MCBI could not exist without gifts of time and money from our volunteers and funders.
As we learn in our first ecology class, the first year of an organisms's life is the most perilous. So it
is with organizations. The following individuals and institutions have provided gifts to MCBI that
allowed us to survive our first years and become champions for the science of marine conservation
biology and conserving the sea's wealth of life:
Adobe Systems Incorporated
AFTCO
Bay Foundation
The Billfish Foundation
Bullitt Foundation
Bert Cohn
Curtis and Edith Munson Foundation
David and Lucile Packard Foundation
DuPont
Edwards Mother Earth Foundation
Educational Foundation of America
Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation
Heart of America Fund
Henry Foundation
Horizons Foundation
Kongsgaard-Goldman Foundation
Massachusetts Environmental Trust
Mead Foundation
Moore Family Foundation
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
New England Biolabs
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Packard Foundation
Parks Canada
Pew Fellows Award
Anne Rowland
Rockefeller Brothers Fund
Sun Hill Foundation
Surdna Founda
tion
Ted Stanley
William H. and Mattie Wattis Harris Foundation
....and several anonymous contributions
MCBI would not be able to accomplish nearly so much without the inspired help of our volunteers.
For all of their hard work, we owe much *THANKS*!
So, let us roll out the red carpet and please acknowledge the efforts of:
Anne Walton - Anne Walton Designs, Inc.
With a diverse background in marine policy and graphics design consulting, Anne's help has been
indespensible throughout MCBI's existence. Anne designed our logo and has guided us through all
of our printing needs.
Kate Bradley Kate is a local librarian with Bellevue Community College who is dramatically
improving the many years of chaos left by Elliott's productive wake.
We truly appreciate each of your efforts!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
