Report


The above projects were performed and completed by volunteers from the GLSPS.  The projects came from an idea in someone's mind then transformed into something great by developing a plan.  Then after a meeting and approval of the GLSPS Board of Directors, it became reality as a future project.  The person with the idea typically becomes the "Project Leader" (or assigns someone to help them).  It's great diving fun from then on!

Most of the reports have been completed and are ready for your viewing pleasure.
  Please click on "Project Reports 2011" to  learn more about the projects.  As time passes, we will be adding more pictures and content to each project report.  Please check back to the website to see what was added.  If you have any questions concerning any project performed by the GLSPS, please click on "2011 Projects", find the project in interest on the schedule, then seek as to who the project leader was and contact him or her.

The GLSPS would like to thank all the Project Leaders for help in planning their great projects, Captains / Boat Operators that operated the R/V Preservation and divers from the GLSPS Membership for volunteering their time to help on these great preservation and documentation projects.

Unfortunately the projects are completed for this year but, if you are interested and would like to join us on a project or two next year, please check back to the this website in January for the new "2012 Project Schedule"  If you are interested in any of the future projects, please "REGISTER" ASAP to reserve your spot on the project. 

 

If you have a great idea for a preservation, documentation or stabilization project, please let the GLSPS know.  You can start by clicking on the Button link provided to print out a form and send it to the GLSPS Board of Directors to review.
