New CORL video DVD series on American Samoa's Coral Reefs

[Mike King]

If anyone is interested I have episode 1 and 2 completed of a new educational video series Under the Waves of American Samoa. 1st episode is Intro to the coral Reef ecosystem 2nd is coral reef fish both episodes are 30 minutes in length. At least 6 more episodes are planed #3 A.S Coral Reef Decline and #4 Tide pools of American Samoa have been started and should be completed by Jan 1 2008. Main target audience is the students of American Samoa grades 4-12. All the narration is in English and we are working on a Samoan language version now.

We are still in need of a few supporters for the future episodes if you or your Reef club is interested in obtaining copies or possibly supporting future episodes let me know.

I can be contacted at [email protected].

Also I’m thinking of making a trip stateside in either late December 07 or April 08 if your club would like me to visit and give a presentation while I'm stateside let me know. (It will most likely be in April, as Michigan is just too cold to visit in December!).

From American Samoa
Fa’afetai!

You wouldn't happen to be travelling anywhere near North Carolina would you. If so, we'd love to have you speak at one of our meetings.

You did a presentation at the FMAS club a number of years back. I am sure they would like to have you back also. I will talk to them soon.

By the way Mike, I met some friends of yours in the keys, Rob and Leslie are down there working.

Nahh the Iranians chased Mike away from NC the last time he was here! :lol:

Apparently he owed them a couple thousand dollars by taking a single picture.

"$5 per picture per coral my friend..."

Keep up the good work Mike!

A family emergency has me traveling to the States tomorrow night I will be stateside until Jan 8th 2008,

I will be tied up for the first two or three weeks but after that I can give a presentation or two.

Let me know ASAP if your club would like a visit so we can make arrangements.

Please note; my presentations these days are mainly about Island community based conservation, possible topics are; coral reef education, community based coral reef restoration. environmental education and awareness, and sustainable MOI practices (coral farming). (along with what CORL has been up to and what's next)

If it's anywhere close in NC I'll be prime to make the road trip to meet ya, Mike. Sounds like very interesting stuff to learn.

I am sorry to hear that an emergency brings you back so quickly. Hopefully everything will work out for the best.

Good luck.

Sorry,

I haven't been able to get online for a few weeks...

I'm currently Stateside at Grand Rapids MI... Burrrrrr!!!

Mother has passed away... I made it here in time to see her before she died.

I can't get to my [email protected] emails yet, so if you emailed me at that account resend it to [email protected] or the [email protected] account.

I did bring a few DVD's with me from AS and will contact those people whose emails I've received inquiring about copies very soon.


Thanks
