>From Solares Hill, a weekly newspaper based in Key West. It is not
available
online. The following appeared in the column titled Editor's Notes:

"The report this week in The Naples Daily News that last year's black water
phenomenon had killed half of the corals north of the Keys was incorrect,
according to Dr. James Porter, a leading coral researcher who was quoted
extensively in the story. Porter is mystified and quite upset and says he
has no idea where the quotes attributed to him came from. This story caused
a considerable stir, as folks bemoaned the huge loss on the reef. Of course
most of those bemoaning were those who continue to think the Keys run north
and south instead of east and west. That puts the die-off in Florida Bay,
not on the reef -- still a loss, but not as dire as some first imagined."
