Also their great open mike concerts are a must see, it happens every Thursday and Friday night in Jamaica Plain and East Milton MA, respectively!

On that note, lastly and most important, thanks to my family and friends, especially my father, who inspired me to study science and has been there to help me achieve my goals and dreams. I have had so much support from everyone and I can never thank you enough and I said it before but I could not have done this without all of you. Only together can we make a difference with such a large problem such as marine invaders. If we continue to work together, we can make this a national and continental network, we will bring NEON to the marine world, sooner than you thought would be possible. So much respect to everyone who has helped in any or all ways.
