Dear CDHC List:
Please see below a message from Dr. Margaret Miller concerning the
possibility of acquiring A. cervicornis fragments for research.

Dear collegues,
I have just become aware of a potential opportunity to procure live
Acropora cervicornis fragments for research purposes. There was a major
ship grounding near Ponce, Puerto Rico in late April which imacted a
large thicket of A.cerv and NOAA has indicated a potential to make
fragments available to researchers, particularly to reduce collecting
pressure on field populations.
The addressee list here is limited by me not being in my office (ie. to
emails I had or could find quickly on my laptop). Please forward this
message to collgues who might have interest and worthwhile use for this
resource. (CHERYL, PLEASE PARTICULARLY FORWARD TO CDHC LISTSERV - THANKS)
If you are interested, you may contact Tom Moore of the NOAA Restoration
Center (tom.moore at Noaa.gov)
Cheers,
Margaret
