9 ICRS Web Update June 20, 2000

A joint GCRMN/Reef Check workshop on community-based coral reef
monitoring will be held following the 9th International Coral Reef
Symposium. The workshop is meant to provide an opportunity for active
and new coordinators to review their technical training skills, and to
compare notes with coordinators from around the world on all aspects of
GCRMN/Reef Check activities -- from fund raising and public relations to
community organizing and government linkages as well as technical
matters. For those interested in becoming coordinators, the workshop
will provide all the necessary training. There will be a mix of field
activities, evening lectures and free time to dive on some nice reefs
without traveling too far from Denpasar. There are only 20 places open
so please sign up now if you want to join the workshop. For details
please see:
