[Coral-List] Request to coral listers

[Tom Williams]

I don't know of any specifics but contact power
company or authorities, environmental departments,
Bahama, Virign Islands, Singapore, Associated States
(West Pcific Islands), HECO-Hawaii Electrical Company,
maybe some of the Florida plants.

Many years ago HECO had problems with sand etrainment
and mussel fouling.  I believe you would find mussels
and soft corals/sponges would attach first and
displace any of the hard corals.
