Sub Sea Research is pulling it's 102' vessel M/V Diamond off operations to head up a flotilla of vessels heading to the gulf. As you are all aware, hurricane Katrina has devastated that area.
Most of the aid and resources have been targeted for the bigger cities. The small fishing towns of Mississippi and Louisiana have not gotten any aid as yet, and it may be months until they do. The roads into these places are gone. The only way to bring in aid is by helicopter or ship. These people make their livings on the sea, and it's gone. The shrimp boats are either sunk or have been blown inland.
We are heading up a flotilla of over 30 vessels that will carry desperately needed food, ice, and survival goods to some of these towns. We are planning a departure this week! Our ship is in Key West and we will join the flotilla in Naples, Florida.
We need your help! We are donating our resources and people, as well as others in this fleet. Some supplies are also being donated. What we need is a cash contribution for supplies and fuel. This is a desperate plea, people are starving and we can do something about it! Over 30 vessels can carry tons of food and supplies. But, we must act fast! Will you help!
We are in the process of setting up an account just for this purpose. All donations will be used strictly for this relief effort. We need to help! The account will be open on Tuesday as soon as the banks open. We are contacting the local news stations so they can inform the public also.
Please return an email, and as soon as possible, we'll give you the info on the account.
Thank you for your support,
