BELEM, Brazil - Aquatic Cellulose (OTCBB:AQCI - news) has entered into an agreement with News USA, a national news feature syndicate, guaranteeing AQCI 12,000 media placements equivalent to $6 million in advertising.

Speaking from Belem, Brazil, Gary Ackles, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aquatic Cellulose, said, "AQCI's story is exciting. Our technologies, products and operations are redefining a new underwater wood industry. As we continue to make great strides in realizing our growth plan, I have concluded that a national campaign through News USA is the most effective means of communicating our efforts and accomplishments to the American public, our customers and the media."

News USA produces ready-to-use features and radio scripts delivered to a nationwide list of newspapers, journals, radio stations and Web sites for their unlimited use. Using cutting-edge information technologies, News USA provides an efficiency of scale impossible to achieve with any other form of marketing, advertising or PR. News USA's clients include, among others, Sears, NASDAQ, America Online and Visa.

"AQCI is poised for tremendous success, with solid financial footing," said Ackles. "The recent buyout of ECOMAB secures 100% control of our leases to harvest hundreds of thousands of acres of naturally preserved Brazilian hardwoods, among the most sought after in today's market. This significantly leverages our ability to address new investment and joint venture opportunities for our operations. We also have talented new executive management at the helm with a dynamic plan to grow our business globally."

Ackles added, "High profile customers are eager to receive shipments of premium Aqua™ products and Aqua™ Clear Choice Decking™. Our eco-friendly products are currently being featured at www.bobvila.com and will be showcased this year at nationally recognized 'green' building projects. With Aqua™, the ideal alternative to CCA-treated lumber products, Aquatic Cellulose is ready to meet the needs of consumers, the industry and the environment."

"Recent interest in our company shows that, as the AQCI story spreads across America and around the world, people will want to become part of our success. News USA, with its sustained communication program over the next 12 months, will ensure more people come to know AQCI's eco-friendly forest products, technology-based recovery solutions, and the social legacy we're creating."
