financial contributions The Cofrin Family Mr. Paul Peck The Smithsonian Institution Women’s Committee 54 THE BRS GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGES DONATIONS TO BOCAS DEL TORO MARINE STATION DURING FY2006-FY2007 Dr. and Mrs. David A. Cofrin have been deeply involved over the past several years in Bocas del Toro’s expansion, contributing to the construction of both the photovoltaic roof of the laboratory and to the new dormitory, which will be built beginning in 2009. They also provided funding for Bocas del Toro’s glass-bottom boat, which will allow students and visitors to explore marine life from the water’s surface. The Hoch Family (Hoch Charitable Trust) has generously supported Bocas del Toro for almost a decade, contributing to the construction of the laboratory, senior scientist residences and both the original dormitory and the new dormitory. In addition, the Hochs have funded postdoctoral twoyear fellowships for research at the BRS. The Hunterdon Fund and the Johnson Fund through the Smithsonian Marine Science Network, have provided funding for the operational costs and salaries needed to maintain Bocas del Toro. Mr. Paul Peck’s gift to Bocas del Toro has made it possible to extend the Training in Tropical Taxonomy Program into FY08. SENACYT , the Republic of Panama’s office of science and technology, has provided grants to support the Training in Tropical Taxonomy Program. The Smithsonian Institution Women’s Committee has generously contributed over the past 5 years to the documentation of biodiversity in Bocas del Toro as well as to the Training in Tropical Taxonomy Program.
