Dear colleagues,
FYI, the Presidents Budget for FY 2009 has just been released and includes a new Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program. With an initial funding request of $1.5 million, this program will help NOAA "increase protection of this vulnerable habitat by mapping locations of deep sea corals and monitoring fishing and other activities near these areas."
