Rather than rely on individuals to provide tools / forums for hobbyists in Australia, it is felt that by doing it under the banner of the Marine Aquarium Societies of Australia Incorporated, it is more likely to stay relevant and be resourced properly (e.g. members may come and go but hopefully MASA will remain or when someone is unavailable for a period of time someone else can fill the gap. This would not be the case if things if all that was available were websites run by individuals.)
