Subject:       Indian River, Florida 

Hello, 

   I am interested in any information on the water quality (coral health or  
lack thereof) of Indian River, Florida.  I have left posts in newsgroups  
such as rec.scuba, surfed the Net for Florida agencies, and come up dry. 

   I am particularly interested if any water quality tests have been done  
off the ocean there.  My interest relates to the high incidence of the  
disease fibropapillomas in the green sea turtles in the area. 

   Someone studying the reef system or corals in this area (say by diving  
there) would certainly have the information I need. 

   Thanks
