Thank you, Monterey Bay Aquarium!

Thank you, Alison Barratt at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, for choosing my photo of the California coast. Alison wrote, "I'm looking for an image to support a new Ocean Action email to ask members to support the California Ocean and Coastal Protection Act, which is legislation to prevent expansion of offshore oil and gas.>

I'm honored that this photo was chosen and is on the Monterey Bay Aquarium website and is associated with this legislative effort.

My wonderful surfer buddy, Kevin, picked me up at 5 a.m. and we drove down the coast. He was paddling out to surf with Matt when I took this photo. Such a perfect Thanksgiving morning.
