St. Croix field station??

[Dave Ward]

Seaward Research Inc. has provided logistical and technical support to the
science community in the Florida Keys since 1995. We are considering
returning to St. Croix, USVI and opening a field research station. The
proposed facility would be located next to the ocean on the West End of the
island.

We propose to have:

Dormitory style accommodations
Covered space to work
A modest running seawater system
Dive tanks and weights
Air compressor
Small boats for rent
A 35' vessel for island wide work

At this time we are trying to determine if the interest within the science
community is strong enough to support a small facility on St. Croix.


We would appreciate a response to the following Questions:

1.	How strongly would you consider working in St. Croix if a field station
were available?

2.	Would you be interested in working on St. Croix in 1999?

3.	Would you consider a trip to the island for an underwater tour?
