Dear All, 

Further to Marcos message, I just wanted to say that the damages to NARA
(the National Fisheries and Aquatic Research Agency of Sri Lanka) have been
estimated at over USD 50 million. This includes the loss of their research
vessel. 

As you can understand it is a significant blow so any assistance to this
institution would be both needed and appreciated.

Kind regards,
J.
