Important stuff to me...

Apparently there is no more Maine Aquarium. It seemes as though Maine is denying funding for many marine programs that are essential for public awareness, research, and protection for many areas within the ocean and animals that live within the ocean. The ocean covers over 80% of the world and is essential to our ecosystem. We need these programs to protect and teach in order to keep these beautiful and wonderous places for future generations to respect and enjoy. What would the world be without an ocean? ...pretty crappy...

Here's more info on how important just one place was...could you imagine if we got funding for more?
