6. That could work...

Maybe do an "adopt a plankton" scheme where for $25 you get a plankton plushy, a little certificate and a photo...

Sweet.

Edit: Update

Dear Mr Parrot,
We are sorry to tell you that 48 seconds after you adopted Rupert, he was eaten by a Sea anemone. However, we do have a Copepod named Susan who has lost her family and is alone in the Indian ocean. Can you help her?

Damn. Where's my Visa card...

7. I wonder if we could do that with fairy shrimp

Coming soon to a tire rut near you: Linderiella!

Sounds like something Disney could get behind. :D

8. And, of course "Sea monkeys reunited"...

...for all those kids who flushed them down the toilet and years later wonder how they got on.

Or maybe that's just me.
