The March meeting speaker will be the incredible Mark Strickland. Mark Strickland's life-long interest in the sea has included over 10,000 dives and careers as a lifeguard, boat captain and scuba instructor. His passion for underwater photography has led him to many top dive destinations, including Thailand, where he spent 17 years as Cruise Director / Photo-Pro on a series of live-aboard vessels, including the state-of-the-art Ocean Rover. While he still dives whenever possible, Mark now spends most of his time with his wife and son in California. An avid marine naturalist, Mark has discovered several nudibranch species, including one that is named for his wife Suzanne, Reticulidia suzanneae, and his own namesake, Halgerda stricklandi.

The March meeting will have two mini-comps, to make up for the one we didn't have at the February meeting. Themes will be shrimp and sand creatures.
