Your Pises vessel is currently docked in Galveston Harbor. Date 04/20/12. What will they be doing while there? I notice on the Galveston Webb Cams looks as though they are giving tours. Maybe I’ll go but I have to drive from Alice, Tx. We are in deep South Texas. Its a long drive to Galveston. Will they be there long? Send me some info.on your ship via E-mail. Thanks. Noemi Salas

Comment on Bans on Some Fishing Gear Can Help Save Reefs by Matt

Once again a tragic case where our world reefs and their ecosystems are being destroyed. We Promote The Swapping & Fragging of
Corals To Help Save The Worlds Reefs. and run a site/forum that is dedicated to this. We help connect our members with other users around the UK to swap their corals frags from their own tanks, which we believe although only on a small scale is adding to the bigger picture of helping to save our worlds reefs. We are going to eventually also setup breeding articles and sections to help people breed their fish, inverts etc so that we can try and reduce the impact the Marine Aquarium hooby has on reed destruction

Comment on Whaling Controversy Through the Eyes of Japan’s Youth by Simon V

An interesting approach. I’m looking forward to reading the paper. Like sex, kids learn not to ask difficult questions about his subject. How does it get to be like that?
—————–
In this article, there is no mention of the economic factor: There are 6000 tons of whale meat in deepfreeze because (as the interim report of the Whaling Commission noted) the market for whale meat is declining, AND last year they let the Icelanders (Loftsson) import some fin whale, which, being the preferred species for eating, reduced sales of minke from the Antarctic.

If there isn’t enough money in it to support the “research”, how is it ever going to be a commercially viable prospect?

This is what the Commission had to say:
