[Coral-List] Call for Bioindicator Updates

[Stephen C Jameson]

Dear Coral-List,

I am updating my survey of bioindicators for a new NOAA manual on 
indicators of pollution.  

If you have information on new bioindicators, or bioindicators under 
development, that you would like included in the manual, please forward 
it to me in the following format before June 21, 2004.


Specific pollutant or mixture targeted:
Metric/attribute name:
Region tested:
Regions applicable:
References:
Summary of Protocol:
Research needs/recommendation:


Please do not send information already included in:

Jameson SC, Erdmann MV, Karr JR, Potts KW (2001) Charting a course toward 
diagnostic monitoring: A continuing review of coral reef attributes and a 
research strategy for creating coral reef indexes of biotic integrity.  
Bull Mar Sci 69(2):701-744


Jameson SC, Erdmann MV, Gibson Jr GR, Potts KW (1998) Development of 
biological criteria for 	coral reef ecosystem assessment.  Atoll Res 
Bull, September 1998, No. 450, Smithsonian
Institution, Washington, DC, 102 pp

Both of these publications can be viewed on the USEPA Coral Reef Website:
www.epa.gov/owow/oceans/coral

Updates to this already published information would also be appreciated.


PS. Reminder

International Coral Reef Symposium (Okinawa) Minisymposium 4-2 titled:

"Diagnostic monitoring and assessment of coral reefs: studies from around 
the world".

is targeted at creating a new paradigm for coral reef monitoring (i.e., 
one with early warning and diagnostic capabilities) using bioindicators 
and indexes of biotic integrity.
