from the SeaDoc Society

Sadly, our friend Nancy Alboucq passed away earlier in the summer after a short battle with cancer. Nancy was a frequent volunteer in the SeaDoc office and always brightened our days when she came in. She was dedicated to the principles of SeaDoc and was a strong advocate for the program and its goals.

In the past weeks we have received an outpouring of donations in Nancy’s memory. Thank you to those who have made donations. Nancy loved the Salish Sea and its creatures, and we will use these funds to protect and heal the marine ecosystem.
