Just a reminder that Nani Kai was looking for input on the legal definition
of reef to be developed and requested that the discussion be on the list. I
sent in one definition suitable for an encyclopedia article to get the ball
rolling. Lots of people sent me directly some very useful suggestions,
including very valid concerns about how to handle temperate coral systems.
Perhaps someone would like to suggest some alternative definitions in public
forum on the list?
