Project Pod

The Ostego Bay Foundation has a new Research Director. His name is Nick Melosi and he is a recent undergraduate of South Illinois University - Carbondale in geology. He's raising funds for Project Pod by soliciting businesses and local organizations, grants, and/or sponsorships. The Foundation needs to upgrade or purchase much of the equipment for the project. Nick has recruited two new volunteers to help with the dolphin tracking. If you are interested in volunteering or donating/sponsorship to Project Pod, call or email the Foundation.
