[Coral-List] Contacting coral reef scientists and "reef practitioners" in (Western) Samoa

[Ian Johnston]

I am considering Western Samoa as a site for an undergraduate travel course
("Human Impacts on Coral Reefs," previously taught in the Philippines).  Can
anyone suggest people and places whom/which I should investigate during a
familiarization visit to Samoa in January 2006?  Of particular interest
would be communities and cultural practices analogous to the successful
community-based reef preservation program at Apo Island off the south east
coast of Negros Island in the Philippines.

Thanks!
