USF Meeting Room / future meetings

[Agu]

I've heard USF has a meeting room with a large saltwater tank. Anybody know who to contact to arrange a meeting there ?

Also, who should I contact at Mote for an inside tour ? The person I've dealt with before went to the Georgia Aquarium .

Any other recommendations for interesting meetings ?

Found the "community relations" link for both USF and Mote. I'll keep you updated.

Agu,
Let me know if I can help in anyway.

Found a contact at New College. She mentioned that there are people doing advanced research on coral wound healing and coral diseases and asked if that would be of interest. The room is booked for the first two weekends in Dec and then they're gone for break so we're looking at Jan or Feb.


Corey, I haven't heard back from Mote, are you willing to try to find a contact person there ?

 

[a2fire2i]

Sure, what are you trying to step up with them?

A special tour with access to some of the support systems ?

Last time we were there they had very limited colonies of local corals, it would be interesting to see how that has changed.

A presentation from one of the researchers there ? Preferably reef related research, but I'd be interested in learning more about other topics too.

Or just find me a contact and I'll work out the details.
