I am so excited to make this announcement!
As those of you who know me know, education and reef conservation are very important to me.
I have been thinking for a while now that i'd like to start some educational installations to help students learn about the Reefs and why they are important. As David Attenborough said, "No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced”
Therefore after some discussions and the approval process I am thrilled to say that S.M.C. will be donating an Innovative Marine Fusion 40 tank and some supplies to WF Herman Academy, in Windsor Ontario!
I chose this school because Windsor was a major player in helping me get my business up and going. Also, My wife and I are very inspired by the heart and soul that Kevin R. ( a teacher) puts into his students lives. We know that the same effort will be put into making this mini reef a valuable teaching tool and a calming space for the students.
I am reaching out to some of my suppliers to see what they would be willing to donate. Fritz Aquatics Wendy Tam has already jumped on board happily and will be sending some product!
We will post about the build as it goes along and hopefully we can get some of the students involved
I also hope to inspire other similar projects at other schools.
There may be certain things we need to come up with for the build. If anyone has equipment they are no longer using (thats in GOOD condition) or would like to donate to this project in some other way please shoot me a PM so I can make a list of whats available and choose what we are going to use.
Once again, thank you, and I hope you will enjoy following along on this adventure with the kids
