The t-shirts are going to be sent separately for customs purposes. Hopefully we can get them over there in the next month or so. I'd like to send them with someone who is going over there so they can just put the shirts in their luggage. We collected 54 shirts.

The netting material that so many graciously donated to the Philippine collectors has now reached its destination and is being handed out to the collectors. As far as I'm aware, this is the largest shipment of hand netting ever sent to the Philppines for marine ornamental collectors. Just one...

We went enough over our original goal for the Philippines that with just a little more money we will be able to provide a large amount of netting to Indonesia as well.

Challenge: Whoever got a grin out of the "Pest Hitchhiker" comment has to contribute $5 to the net fund!!

Yes, I also own SeaCrop. We don't include Aiptasia in our Nano-Packs. You have to buy the special "Pest Hitchhiker" pack if you want those ;)

d9hp, I'm Mary Middlebrook of Marine Specialties International- organizer of the Net Fund. I'm not sure where you got the idea that this was only benefiting one city in one country. This initial fundraiser is for trainings all over the Philippines. There are 2 countries in the industry that...
