Dear Coral-Listers:

There's a report on the BBC:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7021596.stm

about a volcanic eruption on the Yemeni island of al - Tair.

What is the status of the reefs in this area?
Apart from the unfortunate short term destruction and loss of life,  
once things have calmed down it strikes me that this would be an  
intriguing site to monitor reef re-colonisation.

Cheers,
