<BR>> Tom Hourigan <Tom.Hourigan@noaa.gov> the Biodiversity specialist

<BR>> are
<BR>> probably the most important short- to medium-term socioeconomic impact

is

<BR>> The GCRMN will update the report published in 'Status of Coral
Reefs
<BR>> of
<BR>> the World: 1998' and on the Internet as:
<BR>> <A HREF="http://www.aims.gov.au/scr1998">http://www.aims.gov.au/scr1998</A>
<BR>>
<BR>> Please send reports and anecdotal observations to
<BR>> c.wilkinson@aims.gov.au
<BR>> and Tom.Hourigan@noaa.gov on ALL areas bleached or not.
<BR>>
<BR>> * name and area (approx Lat. and Long.);
<BR>>
<BR>> * extent of bleaching in 1997-98 % live coral cover, numbers of
<BR>> species
<BR>> bleached or not; other organisms
<BR>>
<BR>> * any recovery or resistance to bleaching and depths;
<BR>>
<BR>> * any new recruitment (and what families recruited)?
<BR>>
<BR>> * other major comments.
<BR>>
<BR>> A few authors have provided results ready for publication - there
will
<BR>> be
<BR>> an impressive set of papers from this event - we are preparing a
<BR>> synthesis
<BR>> of these reports. We need many more reports please .....
