have failed</a> over the past four decades, killing 34 people, and now

many are no longer adequate to handle the intense rainfall and floods of

a changing climate. With dams causing wild salmon populations to go

extinct, their only benefit is hydropower, yet dams are woefully

inefficient by modern standards. For example, the Tugalo Dam in Georgia

destroyed 597 acres of temperate rainforest to produce 45 Megawatts,

which is the equivalent of 7,500 homes adding 6kw rooftop solar panels.

Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969, the publication of Rachel Carson’s
|
||
Silent Spring, and growing public concern for the environment—they came
|
||
together to form Oceanic Society, the first non-profit organization in

America dedicated to marine conservation. Their aim was to bring greater
|
||
public awareness and political action to issues of ocean health and to
|
||
grow the global community of people working toward improved ocean
|
||
stewardship. Oceanic Society helped put ocean conservation on the public
|
||
radar. Some of our many accomplishments include: Creating the Oceanic
|
||
Society Patrol and Farallon Patrol, pioneering ecotourism and volunteer
|
||
vacations, inspiring a generation of ocean lovers through Oceans
