All the proceeds from the U.S. sale of the Pearl Jam 'Amongst the Waves' song go to the Conservation International's Ocean Campaign. The organization strives to ensure a healthy environment by protecting the resources that we need to survive. Watch the video that features the overwhelming power of Mother Nature.
The Pearl Jam site offers a number of resources on how you can get involved and contact your elected officials.
Implications - There are a number of ways that musicians and actors try and raise awareness for environmental issues, but few ways are more effective than specialty songs or releases that serve a direct benefit to a specific organization. By listing the Conservation International Ocean Campaign as the sole beneficiary of this single's proceeds, Pearl Jam raises the CIOC's profile exponentially.
