The core of the MBI (Marine Breeding Initiative) is a universal Marine
Breeders' Award Program (BAP). Learning from freshwater aquarium BAPs
and leveraging modern technology, the MBI Council created the MBI as a
modern system of documenting, reporting, verifying, scoring, and ranking
for breeders. Ultimately, the MBI is an online service available to
Marine Aquarium Clubs and online Marine Aquarium Communities anywhere in
the world. The MBI Council continually seeks to improve the MBI
program by identifying other services and needs that are supportive of
the hobbyist breeder.
Quite simply, the MBI is our "Breeders Award Program" for anyone who is propagating fish, inverts or corals sexually.
All
you need to do to participate is start a Breeding Journal and document
your efforts (including photographs). When you hit a milestone for the
first time (i.e. have a spawning, a hatch, settlement, or reach 60 days
post settlement) you summarize your success on a MBI Report (you can
submit reports by visiting http://www.mbisite.org/ - http://www.mbisite.org
). This report is reviewed by the MBI Council, double checked against
your journal, and ultimately, points are awarded. The more points,
milestones and successful breeding endeavors, the more you move up in
the ranks. It's a perpetual competition for bragging rights both on the
individual and organizational level. You can even check to see how our
site is doing by visiting http://www.mbisite.org/sites.aspx%21 - http://www.mbisite.org/sites.aspx!
