Good news and good work! As a sidebar: did you know there is now a kelp-based burger gaining traction in the USA? Check out akua.co. (Delicious, BTW)

Hooray and Congrats! Looking forward to your findings.

CONGRATS on reaching your funding goal! Excited to see your findings...

Is there pollution/environmental damage in the waters of the Seychelles? Or are you monitoring and categorizing benign conditions? When I was in the Seychelles for my honeymoon in 2003, the ocean was pristine... Best of luck!

Truly excited for this project, for a number of reasons. Have you come across A DOG IN THE CAVE by Kay Frydenborg? The second half of this book is quite relevant to your work. --As is my dog, a Catahoula Leopard, one of the 'first' American dogs. For some (unknown) reason, my Catahoula is wildly friendly to humans--he tries to catch the eyes of people we pass by, sometimes even in cars stopped at red lights. And he plows happily into any group standing around (which can be alarming if you've never seen a Catahoula!). While he can be aggressive to other dogs, he is fanatically fond of all people. Just FYI. ....(If you need a fine friendly specimen!)

I'm with you---make these captive animals 'work' for their food and improve their psychological well-being! (Would be even better if we could return them to the wild, however...) Best of luck with this project. Looking forward to updates. LL
