New Monuments/Old Attitudes: finis

[dallison]

Jim:

I agree with your comment on bringing this issue to conclusion. I also
encourage everyone who is interested in the wider policy and political
issues to carry on their (our) discussions one-on-one or in broader fora.  I
do believe that the issues raised are, and will continue to be, an important
part of the policy and politics of our environment and especially our ocean
environment and that the value of making that point requires no more of the
Coral-List bandwidth.

As a perpetrator of much (perhaps way too much) of the dialogue, I must
admit that the recent postings on the depredations of the reefs in SVG and
the proposed developments adjacent to the Yucatan Penninsula as wellas the
dialogue concerning impacts of global climate change and reef protection and
restoration are better subjects for this list.

Thanks to you Jim for monitoring all of this and to all Coral-List folks who
did participate in (or endure) our discussions.

Now, as our TV friends say, lets get back to our sponsors.

Hey, sports fans, this dialogue seems like it is getting a little afield
of coral reef research, although I realize it all started around a posting
relating to a new monument for coral reefs in the Virgin Islands, and it
HAS been interesting.  I'm starting to get some complaints behind the
scenes; however, if everybody thinks this thread is germane, rail on!

Thanks, folks...

	Cheers,
