BAL DE LA MER HIGHLIGHTS - MONACO 2006
The glamorous Bal De La Mer Gala
is one of the highlights of the Annual Rendezvous.
Held at the historic Hotel de Paris, the coveted
event raises funds to support the International
SeaKeepers Society and The Mediterranean Science
Commission -- two organizations dedicated to protecting
the marine environment.

During this spectacular evening of dining and dancing,
the SeaKeepers Award is presented to an individual exhibiting an
extraordinary commitment to marine conservation. In 2006, the SeaKeepers
Award was presented to Walter Cronkite for his lifelong contribution
to the protection and enhancement of the marine environment. Mr.
Cronkite, who has also received America's highest civilian honor,
the Presidential Medal of Freedom, described his SeaKeeper Award
as "the 2nd most important recognition he has received in
his life", and praised the Society's "dedication and leadership."
