I would like to announce the availability of a paper
which considers the development of biological
criteria for the assessment of coral reef
ecosystems.

This paper was developed by Coral Seas Inc. for
the US Environmental Protection Agency and is
entitled "Development of Biological Criteria for
Coral Reef Ecosystem Assessment". 

This paper is a follow-up to "A coral Reef
Symposium on Practical, Reliable, Low Cost
Monitoring Methods for Assessing the Biota and
Habitat of Coral Reefs".

Both the biocriteria document as well as the
symposium document can be viewed at the EPA
Coral Reef Homepage at:

www.epa.gov/owow/oceans/coral

Paper copies will be available by contacting me
directly at:
