I spent all day yesterday net surfing. I stumbled upon the ERIN server in
Australia and buzzed the files there. I read as many files as I could
before my back gave out.
What got me especially interested was algae blooms in Australia. Two sites
are of special interest to me and like before I wish information on the
water quality of these two areas.
>From the Net files, the two areas of worst eutrophication/algae are
Peel-Harvey system
Cockburn Sound
I am looking for people who can give me info on these two areas. And yes, I
am willing to make phone calls to Australia. (It would be a first for me)
I suspect with algae blooms that any corals in these two areas are goners.
What I am also suspecting is these two areas are prime candidates for sick
turtles. If anyone reading this knows of others sub-tropical, tropical
areas experiencing algae blooms/eutrophication, I would VERY like to know
about it.
Turtle people and coral people have VERY much in common. We BOTH need the
oceans to be clean. Thanks.
