[Coral-List] Major new TV series on coral reefs - advice

[Georg Heiss]

Dear David,

I think it was in 1997, the first International Year of the Reef, when 
Bob Ginsburg used this metaphor in his presentations, with a series of 
slides juxtaposing structures and functions in cities vs. their reefal 
counterparts.
(Robert N. Ginsburg, Professor of Marine Geology, Rosenstiel School of 
Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami)

There might be earlier use of the cities/reefs analogy, as Alina mentioned.

See also a pdf of a historic NOAA website:
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 1998 (on-line).

Extent and Condition of US Coral Reefs" by Steven L. Miller and Michael P.
Crosby. NOAA's State of the Coast Report. Silver Spring, MD: NOAA.

There is also a book by Richard Murphy "Coral Reefs, Cities Under the Sea"

Best regards,
Georg
