 Rising Tides Update
Club members and the founders of Rising Tides, Brian Basura and Claudia
Richardson, have departed on their long anticipated voyage. For those of you
who don’t know, Rising Tides is a non-profit organization comprised of
environmentalists dedicated to capturing a “snapshot in time” of selected
islands in the Pacific Ocean. Their primary goal is to document current
physical and environmental resources for future studies and comparison and,
to spark scientific interest in children by providing a connection between classroom studies and real
world experiences.
If you would like to retrace their journey
thus far you can find them at winlink.org registered asKG6CVO.
Because Brian and Claudia have been such an important part of the
Desert Divers for so many years, we would like to keep the members
apprised of their activities. We will be offering updates in this newsletter. http://www.risingtides.org/
