[Coral-List] Coral Help

Also, pesticides and herbicides are usually used on golf courses, and
sometimes dyes to make the grass greener.  You can find out if the
builders are doing anything to decrease runoff.  In Bermuda, pesticides
have been found to cause mutations (even on the macroscopic, morphological
level) in toads, and the Bermuda Biological Station's Ecotoxicology lab
has participated in studies there. Contact them or the Bermuda Aquarium,
Museum and Zoo, for details.
