The project is funded by CSULB right? So it's coming out of the college's pocket, not directly from the state. Sure it's a state school, but the students don't attend for free. In essence, the college would spend the same money on something else, were it not for the stingray project.

And people wonder why we are 14 trillion in debt.
So after looking them over this is the forum I felt best suited for this post... if not please relocate it?
I just was looking at the LA Times picture gallery and came across this from last week:
http://framework.latimes.com/2011/05/24/stingrays/
it seems a group of surfers and university biologists are catching rays at Seal Beach and cutting off their barbs. Am I the only one who has a problem with this? I think not...
As I'm not a property owner of resident of California my opposition to this is academic at best, but I would implore any residents of that state to contact their local representatives in the state congress or municipality if you're near Seal Beach and ask what's going on with this....
What's next, de-clawing bears and filing down sharks teeth?
Despicable.

Wonder how many people went to

and read about what they are doing before posting :spin2:
It is a rather interesting study idea.. But while tracking thier movements is kind of neat I tend to agree with the general concensous of it being a waste of time and money. Though I did get a chuckle out of the Rays and people hanging out in that water because its being warmed by the nuclear powerplant
I think it should remain an enter the water at your own risk deal. Next there will be a state funded project to remove the teeth from sharks for fear of being bitten!
Nothing California does surprises me. This is light-years shy of the TRULY depraved things I've heard coming out of that place.
