"Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies has collaborated with numerous groups over the last thirty years, but few have had participation by as many different ocean interests and none have had a goal more critical than MOP's work toward a sustainable future for our ocean resources. Ultimately, if we are going to truly protect endangered whales, we must be able to preserve the ecosystems in which they live."

- Richard Delaney, Executive Director, Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies
