Yeah...one of my favorite gigs I ever did was at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago a few years back...that was really awesome to be able to see all the fish and other animals there behind the scese and talk with the marine biologists there. Eric On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 3:58 PM, Jerry Johnson wrote:

There is a charter school there in Portland that specializes in marine science. I donated about 6500 ocean science books to them, including a number signed for me by Jean Michel. I love marine sciences, including biology, geology, and technology. Even archaeology. It's really the next frontier.

I almost missed my bus this morning while looking through the photos. I was privileged to meet and work with Jean Michel Cousteau years ago, and see many of his personal photographs of baffling marine life. Thanks for the reminder I want to spend some more time there tonight. On Mon, Oct 4, 201

10 years in the making, it is the first really comprehensive look at trying to catalog what's in our oceans. An ambitious project that they acknowledge still is very much preliminary, but I have to say that it is totally fascinating. Some really cool maps and videos too. http://www.coml.org/ ~~~
