To the Coral List
We are writing Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2004 and will include a chapter on disease, bleaching, and  predators/plagues and invasives. But there are large gaps. 
We have: 
Plagues:
Fiji - COTS anecdotes, Marshall Islands; Diadema in a few places;
Invasives:
Indo-Pacific mushroom corals found on Jamaican reefs; A solid story from Hawaii and NWHI; 1 sentence from a US oceans commission report related to ballast water
Do you have any information on your area - please provide anything from 10 words to 200 on the situation where you are - even saying there are no problems is useful 
Please send to either or both - C.wilkinson at aims.gov.au or status2004 at impac.org.au (please don't press return as these seem to end up in my SPAM bin)

Thanks Clive Wilkinson and Jeremy Goldberg
