The Washington Dc Area Marine Aquarist Society

Our mission has many facets: 1. To exchange information with one another, thus sharing our collective knowledge on successful husbandry of the animals in our care and promoting education on advanced captive husbandry practices. 2. To promote captive propagation and exchange of ornamentals within our organization and encourage conservation both within and outside of the aquarium trade. 3. To encourage public outreach through Internet presence and interaction with the marine aquarium trade. 4.) To further our understanding of the oceans and ocean life by providing education on the current status of the world's coral reefs and ongoing research in the scientific community regarding coral reefs.
