Dear James and other interested coral listers,

Regarding:

>Dear Coral Listers
>
>I am currently undertaking a small research study part funded by the UK Dept
>for International Development on the use of a "Total Economic Value"
>approach to maximise opportunities for sustainable financing of coral reef
>conservation.  The plan is to produce a paper and present a summary of the
>study in Bali (late Oct 2000).  It will be a bit of a review, with a few
>case studies and give some great ideas (hopefully!) for people to tap into
>additional sources of funds.
>
>I have three requests:
>
>1) I have collated a number of useful references on sustainable financing of
>coral reefs, but would appreciate being made aware of any good
>references/papers/reports etc you have come across/written - particularly
>recent, obscure or unpublished ones.
