>> Hello All,
>> Plans continue for the first International Polychaete Day (1 July 2015) inaugurated in memory of Kristian Fauchald who passed away 5 April 2015. What better way to remember and celebrate him than by sharing with the world the amazing animals he dedicated his life too?! Below is an update of currently known activities and posts planned for the day. It is shaping up to be a great event.
>> If you plan to participate in some way and are not listed below, please let me know as we will be keeping a log and links to all activities that we will share with Kristian's family and close friends at the end of the day.
