Long-time reader here... I can't remember the last time I posted (if I ever did). Currently I move residences several times a year... not really condusive to keeping a marine tank. But I'm going to be the most well-researched newb ever!
Anyway, I promise this post is about more than just my lack of a tank! As I'm chowing down on a box of chocolates at my desk here, I started to look for the nutritional information (to see how fat I'm going to be from these). Instead I found a little blurb on how the makers of these chocolates donate a certain amount of the profits to something called Project Seahorse. So I went to the website and checked it out. (www.projectseahorse.org)
I found it actually pretty interesting. They focus on seahorses, but the big aim is to advance marine conservation and increase awareness of the seas. As I find the prospect of a future filled with no or severely damaged reefs very depressing, I figure that other reef aquariusts (or even just fish-only marine aquarists) would also feel that way.
So in any case, I just wanted to make people aware of this project. I didn't know about it until I was chowing my way through a box of chocolate (all shaped like seashells)! I did a search of it on the forums, and the one and only post I found mentioned it briefly and was posted in 2004. I thought it would be a good time for a reminder.
