Here's some pictures of the netting, villagers making nets and a training shot

Bogus netting supplied by past NGO's with out collectionj knowledge (ie. the winged it with what they could find) Notice it's green, not clear?

And here is some white stuff that is also bogus, but being represented as the real deal. Notice the look on the collectors face, he's not buying into it as he knows what works

That will get you near Steve and then he can pick you up from there. I figure we'll head over to a Mexican place (nice big tables to spread computers out on) and look thru Steve's laptop picture library and hear about the project straight from him.

I'll be running all around tomorrow so I can't commit the giving any rides. I have a print job I need to pick up when they finish and as of 10 minutes ago they couldn't give me any firm times for tomorrow morning

How will the net caught fish be transported out of PNG??

We should mention if someone wants to donate they do not have to list their name here, I'm sure you can PM Joe or Steve and do so anonymously.

Hi folks,
The airline connections have improved a lot lately.
Quantas is the primary carrier we like and they fly to Cairns, Brisbane and Sydney every day...and connections from there to the world..
There are also Northwest connections direct to Narita, [Tokyo] and from there all over the world.
Unlike the Solomon Islands frieght situation, we can get to major hubs on the very first connection.
Suddenly Papua New Guinea will appear as a basic shipper of a huge variety of fish and not just a niche player w/ limited species.
The economy of scale that is possible will make the frieght rate competitive and huge fish supplies are near the city of export the way Manila used to be.
Steve
