Our guest speaker was Larry Bozka, Saltwater Editor for the Texas Sporting Journal. Kenny Redin, the Journal's marketing director, and James Bozka, videographer, also attended. Larry shared some very entertaining stories that spanned his 30 year career as, among numerous things, a photographer, journalist and broadcaster.

On May 16, 2008 SEA San Antonio partnered with DPT Labs of San Antonio Texas to host KidsFish for 50 Hawthorne Elementary students.
The students toured the Marine Development Center in Corpus Christi and learned about the center's conservation efforts and the important role that science plays in their work.
Afterward, the kids were treated to lunch, and then some great catch-and-release fishing in the center's rearing ponds. Trophies were awarded for largest catch in both boys and girls categories, and everyone received a medal for participation.
