Making a routine purchase on Leisure Pro (I go through EPIC amounts of Aquaseal – it’s the duct tape of underwater research!), a little box popped up. It asked me to make a donation to save the coral reefs because they were in danger blah blah blah tune out. I almost always ignore these, since a) I hate being accosted; b) I hate getting on yet more greenie junk mail lists; and c) I don’t like to give to charities with which I am unfamiliar.
But this particular organization WASN’T unfamiliar – it was Coral Reef Alliance. And I know all about Coral Reef Alliance, because I’ve been reading Rick MacPherson’s blog for around two years now. Because of Rick, I trust Coral Reef Alliance to put my pitifully small grad student donation to good use.
So Coral Reef Alliance got a very tiny amount of money because of Rick’s blog, I got some discounted Aquaseal, and we all feel extremely warm and fuzzy. Ocean blogging community group hug!

thanks, miriam! i can assure you that your donation (modest though it may be) is greatly appreciated!
thanks for supporting our work to keep coral reefs from “blah blah blah”
hug back
JP – I’ve never run across it. Is it a very secret Dutch thing?
Rick – You’re welcome! Blogging 1, ennui 0!
Have to disappoint you Miriam, no secrecy at all.
It must be the UK’s counterpart of Aquaseal and the use of it avoids a lot of irritation.
We do purchase it at the fishermen’s coöperation in Lauwersoog.

Ooh, and I need more Aquaseal right now!
Guess I know where I am getting my next tube from.
