This project will closely mirror the Project Yukon = and we hope to expand upon the success of that effort, but more = importantly we help to avert the minefields that were encountered. Our = close working relationship with Dick Long, San Diego Oceans Foundation = chairman, will help to reduce duplicative efforts. =20 Our intention at this time is to begin putting in place the requisite = infrastructure and to continue our efforts going forward. The success = of this project will depend largely on the activism of the dive = community. An undertaking of this complexity will only succeed with a = cooperative joining together of the community. This will be everyone's = ship to explore, enjoy and will serve generations of future explorers. = We will require a substantive volunteer effort in all phases of this = endeavor and at this point we're looking to bring the coalition = together. =20 We are looking at this point for qualified volunteers to undertake the = Website design and hosting. Our belief is that it is very important to = keep the public informed of our efforts and our progress and while we'll = anticipate frequent updates on the various scuba related forums, such as = this one, we'll also want to provide a constant stream of information. = Accordingly, if you posses the necessary talent and experience and want = to join our efforts please do so by contacting the undersigned. =20 Fund raising will, as you may imagine, form a significant part of our = overall efforts and as such, we will be seeking experienced fundraisers = to sign on to the project. We have preliminary financial projections = and absent success in this regard our chances of success will be = significantly diminished. =20 Furthermore, raising the awareness level will be of the utmost = importance and as such we will also be seeking out qualified individuals = with some marketing background to join our team. =20 Our team, at this point, is a small but dedicated group who shares the = same vision, the same goals and is willing to putforth the required = effort to ensure the success of this ambitious project. If you feel you = are willing to join our team and help our efforts please contact the = undersigned, as there is much work to finish. =20 Regards, =20 =20 Michael H. Kane (a.k.a.
