Bluevoice.org: Saving Dolphins and Whales, Protecting the Ocean Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society The global voice for the protection of whales, dolphins, and their environment. PHOTO CONTEST sponsored by "Pump, Don't Dump" When you visit Maui, are on a whale-watching cruise and see something in the water that looks like toilet contents, it probably is. All are invited to donate photographs of sewage in local (Maui) ocean water. Best photo(s) will be determined by "Pump, Don't Dump" group member(s) and the winning photograph will be considered for publication at the "Pump, Don't Dump" website, www.pumpdontdump.com. Preference will be given for clarity of the subject matter. "Pump, Don't Dump" is particularly interested in depictions of tour boat operators in the act of dumping their boat toilet contents into the water Congress has designated as The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. (If you are staying on Maui and are going on a snorkel cruise, whale cruise, or dinner cruise, you will most probably be cruising The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary.) When submitting your photo, please include as much information as possible, i.e., date, time, location, name of tour boat. The contest will be on-going. Older photographs may be replaced by newer photographs. Remember, the photos are donations so if you need one for your photo album, etc., be sure to save a duplicate. Send digital photos to, and for information and assistance in conversion to digital format, contact: pumpdontdump@earthlink.net.
