Seacology News: May 2010 Archives
One of the many things that sets Seacology apart from other nonprofit
organizations is our roster of international affiliates. We now have
branches in Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. Recently, Seacology's Executive Director Duane Silverstein and Development Director Susan Racanelli traveled to Tokyo for a memorable visit with our good friends at Seacology Japan. Here's what Duane had to say about his trip:
