June 2008 - Last summer Margo Pellegrino – not a professional athlete, but an ordinary mother of two from New Jersey – paddled from Miami to Maine to inspire her children and others to take an active role in the stewardship of our oceans.
This summer Margo embarks on her second major voyage, this time carrying messages in a bottle from concerned Americans to Capitol Hill, urging Congress to ‘Save Our Seas’ by passing healthy ocean legislation.
In partnership with NRDC, Margo will paddle her outrigger canoe 500 miles through New Jersey, collecting S.O.S. messages from concerned residents who want to urge their representatives to protect, preserve and restore our oceans for future generations.
At the end of her voyage Margo will deliver these S.O.S. messages to members of Congress, who are slated to consider comprehensive healthy oceans legislation called Oceans 21, or HR 21, before they adjourn this summer.
