Wow what an expedition!

Dr Greg Stone of Conservation International & New England Aquarium put the trip together. Documenting the trip was Brian Skerry from National Geographic. The team comprised of world-renowned marine biologists/scientists and donors to the trust that funds the world’s largest marine protected area PIPA.

There have been two enthralling blogs written during the trip so if you want to know more from the people in the know then check out the links below!

The New England Aquarium website has a day by day blog made up by contributions from the whole group. Log on to their website at www.neaq.org and then follow the links to blogs, PIPA expedition 2009.

The Woods Hole Institute representatives Larry & Kate also kept a diligent blog that can be found on the Woods Hole website at www.whoi.edu

“I'm sure that it's very difficult for the Nai'a establishment to solve this thorny situation. But, be assured that we, your Nai'a family in a small way, are sympathetic. We realize that the reason we love your trips is that you spend what it takes for a quality voyage. That's why we come back. And that's why we plonk down $10K to sail with you. We know it's worth it.”
