Oceana: talk of the town

Company presentation offers glimpse of life on the other side 1

Have you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall at a top-level corporate meeting just to see what really goes on behind closed doors? Consider this nifty PowerPoint presentation your ticket in.

It turns out chlorine companies talk about Oceana in their meetings as much as Oceana talks about them. The Chlorine Institute held a meeting a few months back where one of the companies gave a formal presentation about being "In the 'Crosshairs' of an Environmental NGO."

Their presentation looks an awful lot like our presentations -- outlining all of our tactics to stop seafood contamination, which to them are challenges they need to overcome. It's nice to know that ERCO has realized Oceana's in it for the long haul.

My favorite slide? "Essential survival tactics."

Andrew Sharpless is the CEO of Oceana, the world’s largest international nonprofit dedicated to ocean conservation. Visit www.oceana.org.

    Strong, defensible critiquelike that presented by you has a devastating effect, but like any enemy, they don't want you to know how bad they are hurting and are not going to give up until defeated. Stay on it.

    In the end, it all comes down to biodiversity. Poison Darts--Protecting the biodiversity of our world
