[Precht, Bill]

Dear Coral Listers:

Richard Dodge and I will be convening a mini-symposium at the October 2000
ICRS in Bali entitled "Coral Reef Restoration in the Next Millennium." 

This mini-symposium will detail the state of the science for coral reef
restoration.  The session is aimed at understanding what works, and what
does not in coral reef restoration strategies.  Papers detailing reef
restoration case histories are encouraged.  Overview papers detailing;
injury & damage assessment protocol, restoration/rehabilitation methodology,
economic applications, improved decision making processes, the ethics of
restoration, new technologies, multi-disciplinary efforts, goal setting and
success criteria, monitoring restoration efficacy,and the future of reef
restoration are be solicited from international scientists working in this
enterprise.     

In addition to oral and poster presentations in Bali, manuscripts may be
submitted for inclusion in a symposium-specific section of the ICRS
proceedings.  All manuscripts will be subject to
peer-review.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is April 30, 2000.  Please send
your abstract to William F. Precht  (bprecht at pbsj.com) and David Hopley
