Doubles sorry about that. Rather rusty on the forum of late! LOL

If any of you are interested in lending support to continue the deep-sea research by continuing to fund the only submersible-based scientific program in the Pacific region petition, the link is provided below.

Signatures are needed and the link is below.

With your help, we've reached 761 signers. We are already having an impact, but have decided to extend the time to collect signatures a little longer to maximize our numbers. We would love to be able to deliver the petition with over 1000 signatures.

Thank you for looking into this issue and supporting it if you can! I hope you enjoy the recently revamped website where you can view our Deep Sea Animal ID guide.

This group has done vast research in the Northern Islands and has been instrumental with L'Oihi research also. Here is a wiki link that is very interesting.

I hope I haven't broken any rules but trust if I have someone will let me know.

Thanks for reading this post!

Many Alohas and Mahalos.

Petition signed. I met some of the people involved in this project a couple of years ago in Honolulu and learned about some of their work. It was inspirational and should not be stopped. How are we going to influence our children to aim for careers in science rather than banking or minimum-pay retail jobs if projects like this are stopped.

The same thing is happening to the observatories on Mauna Kea by the way. Don't be surprised to find some places closing in the near future because it doesn't suit short-term economics rather than long-term prosperity.

Thanks for your support for this worth while endeavor. I have friends who will really appreciate your time and support. I want to know more about all that is unique and under water in Hawaii on a selfish level!
