I'm going to quickly jump in here with a warning and disclaimer. This club has a few people who are very well informed with regard to The Living Planet. I'm sure those members are happy to share their knowledge and input. However I think a PM is best for most questions, and not a public comment. So, I will give my input in that manner as well.

It is my opinion that since TLP is a public effort, we should be able and willing to speak our mind publicly, just careful not to be too harsh on something that is such a good idea even if we have personal disagreement with their management.
Coincidentally, I had a recent conversation with someone that has done a LOT of volunteer work for TLP, though not so much since summer. TLP still has the lease on the 400 So. property but removed the sign in response to some kind of beautification/sign reduction movement. It is sub-leased to provide income. TLP still has all the vans but only the Utah Waters vans are used anymore. That means the Aquavan (reef organisms) and Rain Forest van are idle. The emphasis seems to have shifted away from the original major facility on 400 So. to the Gateway project. They have plans to occupy a 10,000 square foot storefront there. It is the space furthest north, past the fountain. The big poster of a reefscape that the WMAS helped them acquire is in the window, so you can't miss it. It takes a lot of insistance to get involved. TLP has never been very easy to work with, work for, or volunteer for, unfortunately. They seem to lose friends as fast as they make them! But this is only my opinion. The telephone to contact them may still be 355-FISH.
