Dear People:

I have just received the Commemorative Edition of Sea Wind, the =
publication of Ocean Voice International. It has a good photo of Don =
McAllister on the cover, with that shock of white hair that would =
bristle at evildoers and ecological stupidity. As befits the impact Don
=
had on the field, there is a list of tributes in at least three =
languages, from a dozen countries. There are also articles on the damage
=
from trawling, MPA's, shrimp farming...

OVI has recovered from the loss of their leader and mentor, and is =
committed to carrying on in the same tradition: community-oriented =
management of the world's marine resources, especially coral reefs. I =
suggest subscribers to this list could do worse than to consider joining
=
OVI. You will never get a better deal. Regular membership is $25. =
Students, the unemployed and senior citizens (some of you may be all =
three!) can join for $10. Memberships are half-price in developing =
countries, a policy I commend to the publishers of scientific journals.
=
(All figures are in Canadian dollars, a debased currency-a student =
membership for someone in the USA is about the price of a Big Mac or a =
pint of good beer.) For this, members receive Sea Wind, published =
quarterly, and are encouraged to attend the Annual General Meeting.

OVI also has a list of ridiculously-priced publications, including the =
video "Coral divers say NO to cyanide" for $25, and the 72-page "Status
=
of the world ocean and its biodiversity", for $10. Canadian.
