Hi everyone. Just wanted to let everyone out there that loves water as much as I do there is a new organization called Aquatic Science Association that has been formed. We are excited as this has taken off much faster than we anticipated and now it is time to let everyone know about it. Right now we are working on getting the website launched ( which may be up now ) and several other projects. I will be posting again the the Cave diving section about an award for Edd Sorenson coming up. I am attaching the mission statement below, although we are reaching out to divers here, this is not just about diving. It is about protecting what belongs to the people and keeping it for the people.
The ASA is organized, and shall be operated, exclusively for educational, scientific and charitable purposes as a non profit corporation. More specifically, the mission of ASA is to acquire land through acquisitions and stewardship programs to be held in public trust for conservation and protection of natural resources. With the managed lands we are able to conduct extensive scientific research and exploration to further the knowledge of our staff to provide direct community support with educational programs and conservation initiatives. The ASA possesses and may exercise all lawful corporate powers necessary and convenient for promoting these missions, purposes, goals and objectives of the organization, including public education, conservation, exploration, scientific research and the acquisition of land for conservation and protection of all karst and aquatic features including but not limited to lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, springs, sinks, sloughs, caves, aquifers and oceans and connecting marsh lands.
Anyone interested may contact Steve Cushman at steve@caveconnectionsflorida.com or myself at kvcarl@aol.com Thank you and safe diving.
