Hi Robert,
I was wondering if your organization offers fundraising field trips to
the
Neotropics. We operate two biological field stations one in Costa Rica
and
one in Nicaragua. Our organization would like to make our stations
available
for your groups. For more information please follow with our web site
www.studyabroad.com/lasuerte we would also like to have a link in your
web
page to ours. The two stations offer several tropical biology courses in
the
Neotropics including a course in Tropical Herpetology. We are always
looking
for teachers and educators to get involve.
At the moment there is a company from Norway trying to raise Tilapia in
the
Lake and from what I understand the Tilapia will eventually eliminate the
local fish Fauna. I was wondering if you know any one that if familiar
the
with the negative impacts of Tilapia farming in fresh water lakes.
Thanks in advance for your help
Best Regards,
Alvaro Molina
