Wasatch Marine Aquarium Society is pleased to announce that we
have become the latest Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Site. The MBI
was designed with the help of leading marine breeding experts such as
Matt Pedersen, Matt Wittenrich, and others to be a standardized
Breeder's Award Program (BAP) and database. With the MBI, the
adoption of a universal digital-based format across organizations
encourages innovation and discovery, motivated through the spirit of
friendly competition.
The first step to get involved with the MBI is to register a breeder profile on the official MBI website at http://www.mbisite.org/ - www.mbisite.org
and then create a Breeding Journal right on our own site at forum_topics.asp?FID=36 - http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=36 . Your Breeding journals create a local
resource for breeders in our area. Participation in the MBI also
offers you quick access to the online MBI database, which contains
information from breeders and breeding journals on websites around the
country and around the globe.
Utilizing the internet and modern
software, the MBI brings a world-class, 21st century Marine Breeder's
Award Program to our club and website. Anyone interested in captive
breeding can easily search the universal MBI database to research
information on species that are being worked with in a standardized,
no-nonsense format, with additional information being available through
the breeder's, hyperlinked, original journal entries.
The MBI
offers the motivation of friendly competition, an incentive structure
through bragging rights, scores and rankings, and a road map for
hobbyists to enter the exciting and challenging activity of propagating
marine organisms at home. For a more information on the MBI visit the
MBI website online at http://www.mbisite.org/ - http://www.mbisite.org
