Hello All!
As you know I like to keep everyone informed about what is going on in the world of diving with my Videolights articles. There is a fantastic opportunity right now that I would like to share with everyone, and I would like to ask for your help. This will not cost you a dime and you do not need to be an American Express card holder.
For years, Cocos Island has been known as one of the top dive destinations in the world. The large schools of hammerheads and other pelagics make it a divers dream. It also is a magnet for poachers. The Island is a National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage site, but that is not enough. Current anti-poaching laws are in place, but they are not enforced. We are trying to launch a virtual Cocos Island permanent exhibit in the center of San Jose, Costa Rica. This exhibit would be housed in the National Children's Museum and will communicate the importance of the island and the need to protect it. The exhibit will be free for Costa Rica citizens, will give them a way to experience their National Park and instill a sense of responsibility for this remote island.
The project is currently being considered for a grant by America Express. This funding would make this project a reality. Please join with me in nominating this project. It will not cost you anything and you will be helping to protect one of the last wild places on earth. THERE ARE ONLY 6 DAYS LEFT TO NOMINATE THIS PROJECT, SO PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR CLUB MEMBERS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. CURRENTLY THERE IS A NECK AND NECK RACE FOR FIRST PLACE, SO YOUR VOTES WILL SURELY HELP!!!
The directions for nomination are found below, but please feel free to call or e-mail me and I will be happy to do the nominating for you.
Best Regards,
Roger Roth
