[Coral-List] Guanaja, Bay Islands, Honduras

In depth reef surveys have been conducted on the Islands of Utila and Roatan
by Coral Cay Conservation for 4-5 years after Mitch. They are building GIS
habitat maps for the Islands using scientifically trained volunteer SCUBA
divers. Also more simple and universal Reefcheck surveys have been carried
out. I am not so sure about Guanaja though. Contact BICA - Bay Islands
Conservation Association - Glen Pederson or Shelby McNabb may be able to
help.

HONDURAS can be found at:

Hi Coral-Listers

Does anybody have an idea if there were was some kind of reef monitoring or
mapping done on Guanja, Bay Islands, Honduras (or on any other of the Bay
Islands) prior to Hurricane Mitch? 
If yes, maybe who to contact to get access to this data?
Until now it was impossible for me to get data of that kind. I only read
about some studies done by several US Universities but nobody of their staff
knew anything about it...

Thank you for any clou.

Best regards

Melanie
