Subject: Looking to Fund research on Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon


> Hello,

> I am the Executive Director of new Foundation, Marine Ventures Foundation.
A
> little of what our Foundation is about:
>
> "The Marine Venture Foundation's (MVF's)  goal is to fund leading edge
> marine conservation efforts on a global basis.  With a focus on marine
> fisheries, the foundation seeks to fund research, field studies and
> education that will have a significant impact on conservation of saltwater
> species and their habitats.
>
> The results from MVF funds should have significant impact on conservation
> efforts for both economic and social policy. The fund seeks to fund high
> impact, high risk projects that fundamentally enhance the ability to
> understand, protect and enhance fish stocks in the saltwater and estuarine
> ecosystems. The MVF will also consider funding freshwater projects as they
> relate to ocean fishery stocks. "
>
> We are starting this fund with $5 million. We are looking very quickly to
> fund some projects with $10,000-$25,000 commitments in the next 3 months.
> Large commitments can be made.
>
> We are currently looking for people doing research on/ or who want to do
> research on bonefish, permit and/or tarpon habitats, migrations patterns
and
> management practices on a global basis.
>
> IF anyone knows of anyone or may want to submit a proposal for this type
of
