The JSAS Board of Directors works very hard to maintain robust benefits to its members while collecting only nominal annual dues:
Payment of Dues
Membership dues are collected in full at the time of joining regardless of the time of year. Dues will be prorated for the second year of membership, depending on the date of original membership according to the following schedule:
| Month Joined | 2nd Year Dues % of 1st year |
| Jan. - Mar. | 100% |
| Apr. - Jun. | 75% |
| Jul. - Sep. | 50% |
| Oct. - Dec. | 25% |
JSAS members are treated to a monthly meeting, annual holiday party, field trips, our monthly newsletter (The Shoreline), and interaction among fellow tropicall fish hobbyists.
