WDCS is the global voice for whales, dolphins, porpoises and their environment. But on October 18, it was not the voice of WDCS, but the beautiful sounds of the sirens, the O Beautiful Gaia Singers, that rang out loudly for whales and our waters. And words alone cannot adequately thank these women for what they have done to help us.

Sing for the Sea, the second annual fundraiser for WDCS, was the brainchild of Carolyn McDade, composer and one of the 30 women belonging to the O Beautiful Gaia Singers group. The spiritual music paid homage to the many species found on Stellwagen Bank, including the whales whose tribute included a life-sized fluke puppet, swaying between the artistic waves created and moved by The Living Arts Institute. We too are indebted to Karen Dowcett, Founder and Producer/Artistic Director of The Living Arts Institute and the many volunteer participants.

Also contributing their time and words were Deb Cramer, author of Smithsonian Ocean: Our Water, Our World, and Dick Wheeler, whose 1,500 mile solo kayak trip honoring that of the now-extinct Great Auk, was featured on Nova Science.

It was a humbling experience and a wonderful way to pay tribute to whales who rely on sound as their window to the world. WDCS is honored to have been chosen as the beneficiary of their efforts and thankful to all those who turned out on a raining Sunday to support whales and WDCS's efforts to protect them
