    Dear colleagues,
       
      FYI,  the President’s 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."
