Members Only Atlantis Marine World Trip!
NCPARS is pleased to announce that we have arranged for a special members only trip to Atlantis Marine World (http://www.atlantismarineworld.com) in Riverhead, Long Island, Friday and Saturday, September 15 September 16. Sanjay Joshi has made special arrangements for us with Joe Yaiullo, curator and co-founder of Atlantis (you will recall he spoke at our swap in Hegins in October 2005 about the largest reef in the US). We will plan carpools Friday afternoon/evening from Pennsylvania to Long Island and will stay overnight Friday in an adjacent building. Bring your sleeping bags. We will get a special behind-the-scenes tour, and on Saturday we will join Joe on a collecting trip with LIRA, the Long Island Reef Association. AMW reserves the right to keep some of the more obscure critters collected, but there is usually plenty to go around, lots of macro algae, grass shrimps, etc. If folks go off on their own a bit, they can keep what they catch (unless its permit/size issue). Bring some snorkel gear as well as the grass beds can be interesting if the water clarity is there. A thread about the collecting trip is on ReefCentral, http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=907747
We will return home late Saturday evening.
NCPARS will be subsidizing the cost of the trip as a part of the membership benefit. The cost of the trip to members will be $25 per head, with the club possibly also arranging vans for travel.
There is also the possibility of arranging a mini frag swap between the 2 clubs.
This is a members only trip, but we welcome new or renewing members who would like to join and attend. Student membership is $12, single adult membership is $24, and family membership is $36. New members may join by mailing a check to Malcolm Smith, NCPARS treasurer, 2120 Bressler Drive, Wyomissing PA 19610.
If you are interested, please email membership@ncpars.org ASAP, and no later than Sunday September 10. Once we know who is coming, and from where, we will work out carpool arrangements and driving plans.
hope you all can make this trip
thank you
