Second Life (SL) is a virtual world accessible via the Internet. A free client program called the Second Life Viewer enables its users, called Residents, to interact with each other through avatars. We care to use SL for aquaculture education.
Hi Dave
Thanks a lot, seems interesting, I'll look for it

Hi everybody
Has anyone experience with a bio-sphere aquarium, one that is totally closed to the environment?
An aquarium (plural aquariums or aquaria) is a vivarium consisting of at least one transparent side in which water-dwelling plants or animals are kept (wikipedia)

After your query the other day I was wondering if it is possible to make a small aquaria that is self sustaining with corals.
Shaloha,

A bit of information you might be interested in:
At Nanakuli High School on the Waianae Coast there is a teacher named:
Eric Whiteman – Nanakuli HS
695-0077
surf5over@aol.com
He has the equipment to set up a mariculture operation. He lacks funds to do the electrical hookup and to drill a well. He used to run the aquaculture operation at Campbell High School in Ewa. Eric would like to raise hard corals! He even has the assent of Dave Gulko.
Is this an opportunity to teach High School students so that you 'grow' cadre who can push your initiatives farther and make part of our cultural ethos?
UP the coast at Waianae High School Dana Hoppe runs their mariculture program:

- Aloha Shafir,
Could I use some of your photos in testimony submitted to our state legislature defending offshore aquaculture? I'm looking to use shots of p damicornis to illustrate that Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture could include sensitive species in a integrated relationship with a finfish farm.
Some people don't want offshore mariculture under any curcumstances.
