NJ's Alliance for a Living Ocean has gotten a new life! I was disappointed to read an article a few days ago in the Asbury Park Press that the Alliance for a Living Ocean said it would disband in January if it didn't find additional volunteers to carry out programs. There are so few non-profit groups whose explicit mission is to protect our oceans.

But I've just heard from Tom Beaty, ALO President, that the plea for Trustee Members has been successful, and that ALO will hit the ground running in January. Numerous New Jerseyans, including several professional scientists, are giving ALO its jolt. Write to tom at woodenjetty dot com for details. The ALO is based in Beach Haven.

The ALO has been a very good advocate for the preservation for NJ's coastal waters that we all need to remain clean, and it is an important voice to help NJ counter damaging policies such as an overly permissive policy toward Liquified Natural Gas facilities.
