scrubbybubbles Report post Posted March 18, 2008 sounds great. Is this meeting open to everyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhuyvetter Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Yes, we may even group up with some of the ACROS people (Aquarium Coral Reef Organization of Sarasota) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhuyvetter Report post Posted March 20, 2008 OK, we will get a behind the scenes tour on April 20. We need to meet in the parking lot at MOTE Marine at 8:45 a.m. The aquarium opens at 10. This gives us a one hour tour before the aquarium opens to the public. Our tour guide will be Shawn Garner. He is one of the aquarists there. He has also agreed to speak at a future meeting regarding Mote Marines captive seahorse breeding program.I need a head count no later than April 5 to advance order tickets. Price will be $12/adults and $10/children.ACROS has been invited for this tour as well. So, we should get to meet up with some of our salt water buddies from the Sarsota area on that day as well.

wiszmaster Report post Posted March 23, 2008 awesome.Question - those who have passes to MOTE, will they be honored, and get in for free, or have to pay to get it?--marco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reefaddictinsrq Report post Posted March 24, 2008 Hey All, since you reefers are traveling to Mote, you might want to check out a store in Sarasota. I believe those that have been here will agree it's worth the stop. I am good friends with the owners and believe they may stay open later for us. NO, I'm not plugging this store. I have gone from Tampa to Miami and not found live stock this nice. Check out the site and let see who is interested. Thanks, Pat(reefaddictinsrq) & Sue(scrubbybubbles) WWW.CORALCONNECTIONSARASOTA.COM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdhuyvetter Report post Posted March 25, 2008 I just spoke with MOTE. Whatever level of sponsor/pass you currently have will be honored. No extra fees will apply. You still need to let me know no later than April 4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
