Hi everyone,

As the Florida Marine Science Educators annual conference is fast approaching, we've got a couple of new details I thought I would share with you.

We've upgraded our Friday night event. After our Keynote by Mote founder Dr. Eugenie Clark, we'll move into the galleries of Mote's Goldstein Marine Mammal Center for dinner and drinks. As you enjoy your meal among the dolphin, manatee and sea turtle exhibits, we'll also be offering exclusive behind-the-scenes access and special presentations by Mote trainers and research staff. This enhanced Friday evening experience is included in your registration fee.

We're also pleased to announce that through a partnership with the Sarasota School District, Promethean and local distributer Logical Choice Technologies, we will have an interactive whiteboard available in one of our presentation rooms. Do you have a killer ActivBoard marine science activity? It's not too late to submit a proposal.

Speaking of deadlines, there are some important ones coming up...

April 3 is the deadline for presentations proposals. Yes, that's tomorrow, but we still have room, so if you have an idea, make sure you make contact with our Sessions Chair Tim Oldread <tim.oldread at mote.org> at the very least.

April 14 is the deadline to reserve a  room at the Helmsley at the conference rate. We've booked 35 of our 40 rooms, so don't wait til the last minute. We may have some additional rooms available, but don't risk it. Contact the Helmsley at http://www.helmsleysandcastle.com/ or 1-800-225-2181.

May 1 is the deadline for the pre-registration rate of $170. On-site registration is $190 (but still worth every penny). May 1 is also the deadline for Exhibitor registration. Both conference and and exhibitor registration forms can be downloaded at http://www.mote.org.

The conference is really shaping up nicely. Please don't hesitate to call me if you have questions.

We hope to see you there.

Contest begins March 31st! fish The NOAA Marine Debris Program has a special underwater friend who helps them spread the word about the problems of marine debris in our waters every day! Born in 2007, this fishy friend has taken the Program's message of "Keep the sea free of debris!" nationwide, and even internationally. This unnamed fish has become quite a star and so, this Earth Month (April 2009), the NOAA Marine Debris Program would like to name their very special friend. *About the NOAA Marine Debris Program - *Established in 2005, the NOAA Marine Debris Program supports national and international efforts to research, prevent, and reduce the impacts of marine debris.

Schools, including home schools, must be in compliance with federal and state civil rights and nondiscrimination statutes. Students may work individually, or in teams of no more than 5 students per team. *Criteria for Naming - *Students are encouraged to visit the NOAA Marine Debris Program website (www.MarineDebris.noaa.gov ) for information about marine debris and material that features our special friend. We also ask that you keep in mind some of our fishy friend's favorite key messages when coming up with a name: * "Keep the sea free of debris!" * Reduce, reuse, and recycle! * Marine debris is a global problem we can solve and by working together we can make a difference. *Entry Form - *There should be one entry form per student or student team. Student teams may be made up of no more than 5 students per team. Please ensure that the entry form is filled out completely and legibly. The completed form must be scanned and sent as a PDF document to Carey.Morishige at noaa.gov .

Howard ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carey Morishige Date: Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 2:42 PM Subject: A Very "Fishy" Naming Contest To: [image: banner] [image: contest] Name the NOAA Marine Debris Program=92s Fishy Friend! Contest begins March 31st! [image: fish] The NOAA Marine Debris Program has a special underwater friend who helps them spread the word about the problems of marine debris in our waters every day! Born in 2007, this fishy friend has taken the Program=92s message of =93Keep the sea free of debris!= =94 nationwide, and even internationally. This unnamed fish has become quite a star and so, this Earth Month (April 2009), the NOAA Marine Debris Program would like to name their very special friend. *About the NOAA Marine Debris Program - *Established in 2005, the NOAA Marine Debris Program supports national and international efforts to research, prevent, and reduce the impacts of marine debris. The Program=92s goal is to protect and conserve our nation=92s natural resources, oceans, a= nd coastal waterways from the impacts of marine debris. *Eligibility - *All students in grades 1 through 6 from all U.S. state=96recognized public, private, and home schools are eligible to participate. Schools, including home schools, must be in compliance with federal and state civil rights and nondiscrimination statutes. Students may work individually, or in teams of no more than 5 students per team. *Criteria for Naming - *Students are encouraged to visit the NOAA Marine Debris Program website (www.MarineDebris.noaa.gov) for information about marine debris and material that features our special friend. We also ask that you keep in mind some of our fishy friend=92s favorite key messages when coming up with a name: - =93Keep the sea free of debris!=94 - Reduce, reuse, and recycle! - Marine debris is a global problem we can solve and by working together we can make a difference. *Entry Form - *T= here should be one entry form per student or student team. Student teams may be made up of no more than 5 students per team. Please ensure that the entry form is filled out completely and legibly. The completed form must be scanned and sent as a PDF document to Carey.Morishige at noaa.gov.

If you're teetering on your decision to join us, here are some conference highlights: Friday features *FREE workshops* for registered participants, including: CPR and First Aid Certification, REEF Fish Identification Workshop, and FMSEA's Aquatic Species Collection Certification. Friday evening is highlighted by a keynote address from Mote's founder *Dr. Eugenie Clark, the Shark Lady*, and unique animal care presentations and behind-the-scenes peeks at Mote's Goldstein Marine Mammal Center. Saturday session highlights include programs on virtual field trips, coral restoration, saltwater aquarium set-up, student-led dolphin research, using interactive whiteboards, and more. There will be several presentations from the *Florida Aquaculture Association*, a conference sponsor, on how to create and use aquaculture themes and systems in your classroom. We will also be featuring a conference track on *active Mote research* with presentations from Mote scientists on: dolphins, whale sharks, blue holes, fish tagging, sea turtles, red tide and still more. During Saturday evening's banquet we will enjoy a talk from *bestselling author Trevor Corson * that he described to me as "a mix of fun biology (crustacean fornication, seaweed sex) along with weird food science & history (lobsters used to be junk food, sushi came from stinky fermented preserves), all wrapped in an overall message about sustainability (whether buying something like lobster to cook at home or going out for a fancy meal like sushi, our eating choices make a difference, and we can find win-win ways to support seafood sustainability)" How can you miss that? *Register now * -- *Jim Wharton* * */Vice President, Education Division/* Mote Marine Laboratory *1600 Ken Thompson Parkway* *Sarasota, FL 34236* *Voice | 941-388-4441, ext. 474* *Cell | 941-374-0085* * *Florida** Marine Science Educators Association* *May 15-16, 2009: Mote Marine Laboratory Register now for FMSEA 2009* Visit us on the Web at www.mote.org .* *Email me at: jimwharton at mote.org // --------------040803020801070808080204 Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="------------030806020302040606070601" --------------030806020302040606070601 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The unit measures 48 inches wide, 26 inches deep and roughly 76 inches tall. It has a wet-dry filter in the base and an in-line pump (located at the back of the unit with all of the plumbing). You can install an ultraviolet sterilizer into the system and a protein skimmer. The three levels have partitions to keep critters separated and there is space for a 4 foot fluorescent light bulb on each level. The two acrylic tops did not survive the move to our storage unit but they can be replaced along with some of the PVC plumbing on the back of the unit. If anyone has questions please let me know and I can answer them. The unit will have to be picked up in Tallahassee (unless I am traveling in your area and can fit it in our vehicle).
