Report: Status of Coral Reefs of the World

[MaryHM]

*A new report "Status of Coral Reefs of the World:2000" has been published. Very important information that we should all be aware of!

*For Los Angeles and Ventura County residents, a major educational and environmental aquaculture organization is on the verge of closure...see what you can do to help!

*See my editorial of an article entitled "Saving the Coral Reefs from the Marine Trade".

*On a truly sad note, many coral reef researchers were on the ill-fated Singapore Airlines flight returning from the Bali Coral Symposium. Please keep them and their families in your thoughts and prayers.


Information on these and many more topics can be found at www.reefsource.com

Thank you,
Mary Middlebrook

Woah, its amazing that a seemingly random bit of news on the tv can impact us in ways we can't imagine just from surfin thru the news channels
On another note I want to thank you for posting here and linking to information we as hobbiests need to be aware of. Please dont be discouraged by the seeming lack of response. There are at least a couple of us that read it, eh Horge

I spent some time reading "Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2000", I knew things were getting bad but things appear to be getting worse than I had thought. There is a little to be optimistic about with the possibility of reef-recovery, however with global warming just on the horizon I am sure things will get far worse before they get better. I think it is going to take a while before people really begin to take notice of the environmental problems we as humans create. Very sad news.

We may have tanks full of endangered animals pretty soon.....

Thank you for posting the info., education is key.

It's terrible about that plane crash.

Mary-
I want to thank you for posting here. All reefers need to be informed and stay that way. This just gives yet ANOTHER reason to buy propagated corals. Also, very sad news about that plane crash. Sorry to hear about that.
