Dear ${member.firstname},

 

Life in the world's oceans is under severe threat, so in the month which marks World Oceans Day (8 June), please help us by supporting the Earthwatch Oceans Appeal.

 

And find out how you can join explorer, television presenter and Earthwatch ambassador Paul Rose and the crew of the Polar Bear at Cowes Week on 7 August.

We hope you enjoy reading how our work is contributing to marine research, both in Europe and beyond.

See you next month!
