The Florida Marine Aquarium Society’s mission is to bring together the expertise and experience of its members, with a purpose to share this information with others. By providing this wealth of information to all, the society makes its best effort to protect the quality of life for marine organisms maintained in aquaria. It is also the goal of this society, to promote an awareness of the natural marine ecosystems and to protect and share them with future generations.

Our mission statement will be the primary focus for all the events scheduled for the year. Members need to be prepared for an exciting year of great speakers, educational/interactive functions, awesome field trips, and events. The new elected and appointed Board Members join me in adopting these new ideas. We look forward to having an exciting year and encourage all members and especially new members to become more active and take advantage of our field trips and functions.

This year has gotten off to an excellent start! The Frag Swap was a GREAT success! We had well over 300 visitors to the event. The feedback received from our Commercial Members and attendees has been extremely positive and they are all looking forward to the upcoming events.

Also, one of our goals for this year is to have our younger and junior members become more active in the club. To accomplish this goal we will need input from the parents and the junior members. There will be many events that will require feedback. Please help our future generations to become more involved in the marine aquarium hobby.

Sincerely,
Herman Jordan
