seeking info regarding Dr. Tim McClanahan

This might be the wrong forum for this, but it never hurts to ask, right?

I just learned that Dr. Tim McClanahan of the Coral Reef Conservation Project is a close
friend-of-a-friend. It was recommended to me that I get in touch with him as we most likely share many interests. Before I do, however, I'd like to study his published papers so that I can competently discuss his research and see if there are indeed any commonalities. Online searches haven't turned up much and the local university's library doesn't have a very complete marine biology section. Any information that the board could provide would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Brooke,

Thanks for the links. I had actually found those, and a few others, already. Unfortunately, they are simply the abstracts and not the complete papers. As I don't feel like *purchasing* the complete papers, I suppose I'll simply write him and request some reprints. Thanks again, though!!!

Steve
