Reef Check Press Conderence!

[reefchck at ust.hk]

Dear all,

Reef Check will hold a Press Conference on 19 November to report the
preliminary results of the 1998 global survey, and coral bleaching and
mortality will be featured. Due to the early start this year, a number
of surveys occurred pre-bleaching so we are short of good visuals. 

We would like to request anyone with good video (15 min) or slides (2-3)
of bleached, dying or dead corals if they would be willing to share with
us, to please send us a copy. We will be happy to reimburse copying and
postage costs (if you arrange with us first). On the 19th we will have
at least 6 video monitors showing different parts of the world. We will
be happy to give full credit to the photographer/scientist in writing
beneath the video or print. We are particularly interested in images
showing mortality of very large colonies.

Thank you for your generosity.
