Outrigger Hotels & Resorts Enrich Guest Experience with Whales and Marine Life Activities

Beginning February 14, 2004, aboard Turks & Caicos Aggressor II. Throughout the week, face with humpback whales and their newborn calves.

Once the whales are sighted, guests will enter the water to observe the humpbacks.

Marine Phytoplankton are the food utilized by the worlds largest and longest living animals and fish. Blue whales, bowhead whales, baleen whales, gray whales, humpbacks, and right whales all eat plankton. These species live between 80 and 150 years old and maintain great strength and endurance throughout their lives. The largest fish a plankton eating whale shark lives for over 150 years, grows up to 14 meters long, weights up to 15 tons, and is sexually active until it dies.

Microsoft The partnerships were jointly announced today in Hawaii by Dr. Chuck Kelley of Outrigger Hotels & Resorts, Ocean Explorer Jean Michel Cousteau of Ocean Futures Society and Naomi McIntosh of the National Marine Sanctuary Program.

Laptop Computers "We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the leadership of Outrigger Hotels and Resorts and to say that we are all committed to being partners in protection," said Jean-Michel Cousteau, board trustee of the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and president of Ocean Futures Society. "People protect what they love. However, people can only love what they understand. In my more than six decades of life, I have come to realize that most people don't understand the important role the ocean plays in our daily lives. That's why partnerships of this variety are so critically important."

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Lenovo National Marine Sanctuary Foundation will assist Outrigger with comprehensive educational and outreach programs centered around Hawaii's unique marine life with an emphasis on the North Pacific Humpback Whale, which migrates each winter to breed and calve in the waters off the Hawaiian Islands. The foundation will coordinate a series of permanent educational exhibits, expert lectures, ocean activities and community service projects at Outrigger's various properties. By far the most novel component is the Marine Life Kiosk, a prototype that took more than two years to complete. "We are delighted to partner with the Outrigger Hotels and Resorts on this important outreach effort," said Naomi McIntosh, Sanctuary Manager.

This partnership is an important step in educating the public about how each person can make a difference."
