The correct volume is 496. Please see the AGRRA website for details on
how to obtain a copy.

Subject: [Coral-List] Re: Initial Report of AGRRA Program
I am trying to locate the volume mentioned in this morning's coral-list.
[Atlantic Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment Program (AGRRA) Volume 495 of the
Atoll Research Bulletin distributed by the Smithsonian Institution:
Lang, Judith C., ed. (2003). "Status of Coral Reefs in the Western
Atlantic: Results of Initial Surveys, Atlantic and Gulf Rapid Reef
Assessment (AGRRA) Program".]
I am currently looking at volume 495 of the Atoll Research Bulletin.
The entire issue focuses on "Biodiversity Surveys and Conservation
Potential of Inner Seychelles Islands" edited by Michael J. Hill, dated
July 2002.
I am guessing that the volume number was reported incorrectly in the
previous email. Would the authors please reply with the correct volume
number? I am very much interested in the results of the AGRRA study.
Thank you,

> Evaluating Effectiveness of Coral Reef Management Strategies
> 4-7 Assessments of Coral Reef Management Effectiveness
>
> Regardless of the efforts and resources invested in coral reef
> protection, there is concern about the level of management
> effectiveness at global and local scales. It should be improved at
> least 10%. Few marine protected areas have measured their
> effectiveness level. In the session, 4.7 those case studies are
> welcomed as well as the cases that are starting to implement
> phases of the process to assess management effectiveness. In
> general, this session will allowed the presentation and discussion
> of the effectiveness of specific strategies of management (e.g.
> repopulation of commercial species) to promote the analysis of
> what should be improved and at what extent; also what should be
> discouraged because it is not economic, ecological or socially
> acceptable.
> Aim: To gather scientists from different regions who have designed
> and/or applied methodological frameworks to assess management
> effectiveness in order to present case studies and recommendations
> to coral reef managers, users, researchers and ecologists of the
> world.
> Scope: To combine multidisciplinary knowledge and different
> objectives of conservation and sustainable use in coral reef areas
>
> Please send your abstracts about effectiveness assessments of
> coral reef management schemes or strategies that do /do not allow
> activities such as tourism, sustainable fisheries and mariculture
> besides of protection. Please submit your abstract by 25 December
