TESTIMONIALS »
"Tonight's special because it's the first time that Oceana's gone south. We've concentrated on the center part of Los Angeles and we're opening up the cause to help the oceans. Not that the people in Orange County weren't aware of it before but I don't think they were aware of Oceana. Now they have the opportunity to be connected with an organization that we can all get behind and support." -- Michael Rouse, Toyota USA (At 2008 SeaChange Summer Party)
