Can someone please help me find a volunteer position in Houston. A place where I can learn about marine animals or plants. I have been trying to look for one but I been unsuccessful. So far I am currently volunteering at a Pet Store and had learn a lot about aquarium plants and animals, but I still wish to learn more. If anybody can help me I would be very grateful.

Hi soopa,
I replied to your PM earlier today but you had entered an email address that bounced so we had to delete you. Glad you're back.
Here's what I suggested, check out the conservation orgs at:
http://MarineBio.org/Oceans/Conservatio ... ations.asp
and contact those you find interesting about volunteering locally. I know Surfrider has a local chapter that often needs volunteers, etc. Post again if you don't find anything and we'll see if we can help.
