_See if this site works if not et me know and I will get the report for 
you.   You certainly have a right to question
the science but much is based on models that can be tweaked many ways.  
A lot of questions remain.  SUZ

Ted,
If you read my original email, you will see that all I ask is to see the raw data in which the report was based. I also added a remainder on how a systematic oceanographic data collection is conducted, for the benefit of all subscribers to the coral-list.
Nowhere in my email I make the implications you indicate in your message. Please, refrain from making this issue personal.
We must assume the scientific method was used in completing the report. Hence, it is logical for me or any other scientist to ask for the original data on which the report was based.
