Welcome Fellow Voyagers!

Welcome fellow voyagers to the Alaska SeaLife Center's Ships blog!

This blog has been set up to provide us with an alternative form of internal communication - helping us avoid the email deluge while allowing folks to stay informed and engaged.

I'll use this space as time and energy permits to :

a. update you all on things that I have been doing that are of general interest to the SeaLife Center staff and Board;

b. share impressions, thoughts and ideas; and

c. invite your feedback on topics of general interest.


I'd like to keep this blog as newsy, informative and informal as possible - if we wanted to read a reference book we wouldn't be here - right?


However, because this is not a fully moderated blog and because it is associated with our professional work at the Alaska SeaLife Center, I would ask that we all use this blog with appropriate caution. As a general rule, I'd suggest that we write on this blog only what we would be happy to see in press the next day. That means being careful with language and style as well as limiting our discussion of topics that are not appropriate to discuss in such a public forum. If we fail to meet that simple test then we'll have to cancel this blog... and that would be a pity!

So what am I going to post? And what might you add?
Stay tuned for the next instalments...
