cool, i always loved that site, never got around to ordering before it shut down, im glad its back.

thats just amazing, so... whos house is this in again? can i bring some brats over for dinner?

in crackers defense, he/she has pretty much been stating the same thing through this whole thread, you say he has been draggin someones name through the mud, thats just silly, he has been saying the same thing, that everyone that has posted to this thread agrees on, corals were...

again, once these corals left the lab in florida, there was no way they could have been relocated into the gulf, NO WAY! there are way too many variables to count as to how these can easily become contaminated and endanger the reef that the corals would go back too. even something as...

im sure this project wasnt for restoration, it was supposed to colonize clones for disease and bleaching research, but even for research, they should have been isolated, without any chance of contamination (which we all agree, unless they built new tanks, in airlock chambers, with its...

also, like ive mentioned, his permit doesnt state that he cant have species over 20cm, but that is because his permit was supposed to let him collect the leftovers from the canal himself, but he wasnt able to dive, so he had "special permision" to collect from the lab, all the corals...

tropic... is there any chance that you can disclose what your facility was promised as compensation for taking on the huge project? money? coral? or maybe super cool advertising? if we can get through this mystery, maybe some of us would go back to our regularly scheduled program...

it was my understanding that he took corals that he wasnt supposed too, he had a permit to dive himself, and collect everything he wanted, but since he couldnt, he was allowed to take specimens less than 20" out of the lab, is this not the way it happened now? they didnt give "the rest"...

eric filled out the permit, from what you know, does it seem like reefsavers is able to care for the advanced needs of the corals? given all that we have talked about? the huge task that this project is trying to do, does it sound like a fish store warehouse really has the ability to...

i never once said "he claimed he owned reefsavers" im saying he should have had a better facility, which reminds me, reef savers is a buisness, i doubt they said they would care for a butt load of coral for free... thats no way to run a buisness. this task would be a huge project...

none of this would even be a point if eric actually had a facility like he claimed, he should have had a building to set this whole thing up, that he couldnt get locked out of, like his permit application said.

it doesnt seem like a select group, it seems like everything she has, and it seems like there were some things done wrong, even without the missing papers, its pretty obvious that alot of corals were taken from a naval sanctuary, and mishandled. that is basically what we are discussing...

im wondering why he got a permit at all? seems there are plenty of scientists around that can do the work, cheaper, and closer, and better. nothing against his carachter or his science, just seems like people would be lining up to get a hold of some of these. does the foia show how...

i dont see why you need to get it anymore, chuck has it, and i believe him, he just needs to post it, all he has to do is use a little white out and cover the names that are in danger, at least that would clear eric right? :wink:

holy crap!! thank you for bringing an actual discussion abou these documents back to this thread!! everyone says its a witch hunt, and they points their torches back! for all those that think its pointless to discuss broken info... if all the info was there, there wouldnt be a...
