Greetings! 

    The purpose of this message is to announce the existence of the 
Coral Health and Monitoring Program list-server.

subscribed to the list.  Appropriate subjects for discussion might 
include: 

    o  bleaching events 
    o  outbreaks of coral diseases 
    o  high predation on coral reefs 
    o  environmental monitoring sites 
    o  incidences of coral spawnings 
    o  shipwrecks on reefs 
    o  international meetings and symposia 
    o  funding opportunities 
    o  job openings in coral research 
    o  marine sanctuary news 
    o  new coral-related publications 
    o  announcements of college courses in coral reef ecology 
    o  coral health initiatives 
    o  new and historical data availability 
    o  controversial topics in coral reef ecology
