Yasui (and other interested parties)-

Among a variety of institutions that address the issue, you might be interested
in the Lake Champlain Basin Science Center, currently in development at
Burlingtion, Vermont, USA (802)-864-1848 and the Great Lakes Science Center,
Cleveland, OH, USA, 218-694-2000. The Pacific Science Center may also be of
interest (Seattle, WA, USA) (206) 443-2001. Additional museums may be found by
visiting the Association of Science-Technology Centers' website, www.astc.org.

Many aquaria also cover inland waters. The Tennesee Aquarium has good content on
inland water systems. For additional information about aquaria, you may want to
visit www.aza.org.

If you need any other assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Steven Eichner

FROM:Yasui R., Tokyo
Dear Colleagues,
Best wishes for another extra super New Year in the lunar calendar which is ab
out a week onwards from today! Those who live in the asian sectors of our glob
e, just watch out for noisy crackers and enjoy yourselves with great fun!

I wonder if somebody could kindly help me in compiling a list of museums relat
ed to inland waters: rivers, streams, lakes, marshes, ponds, which cover the s
ubjects of transportation, fishery, natural history and human life deeply tied
 to the inland waters.
I have been able to get information of a couple of museums in "Museums of the
World 5th edition" (Saur Verlag, Munich 1995).

This work is for a new project I have been asked to do recently.

You may forward your generous advice to the Museum-L so that others who are in
terested in the subject may share the information.
From my experience using the Museum-L, I have been helped by many kind colleag
ues on this unique and super resource for many subjects and making efforts to
help others on other subjects as well.

I look forward to hearing good advices from you, soon.

Yours very truly,


Ryo
