Cayman Classroom - IF support received from The Turtle Farm

We are working with the Cayman Turtle farm to develop our January program. We just received word that a generous donation will be forthcoming. This money is essential for developing our virtual Cayman Classroom.

 

Cayman Classroom

Our “Wisconsin Wonders” are not happy just waiting for the January classroom upload…. They helped raise project funds with a Saturday morning bake sale. The bake sale fund was matched by several future expedition participants. There are still a few spaces available for this January trip. Don't Miss this Exciting Chance to make a difference. More information is available here. Rumor has it that "Little Texas" may be performing poolside for the IF group!

Galapagos

Trace Darwin's footsteps! When you step off the plane in Galapagos, you are entering a magical world. Explore the wonders of the various islands. Dive beneath the sea to witness wonders even Darwin could not enjoy. April will be here before you know it. Sign up soon to reserve your spot on this once in a lifetime adventure.

Fiji, Fiji, Fiji

The Imaging Foundation will return to the NAIA base station in June. Join us as we dive the crystal clear waters of the Fiji Islands.The lush, vibrant soft corals, excellent visibility and varied ecosystems present our team with an amazing opportunity to document healthy intact reefs. Hands down, Fiji is one of the most beautiful underwater destinations in the world. Join us June 3 - 10, 2006. More information here

 

Cocos Completed!

We are so proud of the dynamic website created by expedition participants on Cocos Expedition 2005. A tremendous amount of data and images was processed by this energetic group. It wasn't all work, though, as the group enjoyed the many splendors of Cocos Island, including hammerheads, white tip reef sharks, mobula rays, marble rays, and quite a few up close and personal encounters with the magnificent manta rays. See trip results here: http://imagingfoundation.org/cocos_expedition_2005.php

 

Imaging Foundation Holiday Cards

Our junior scientists were also busy creating holiday cards. These Crayola masterpieces are available for purchase and all funds go to support the Imaging Foundation. http://www.imagingfoundation.org/holiday2005.php
