[Coral-List] Call for underwater video footage

[Chris Jeffrey]

Dear Gabriel

NOAA's Biogeography Program maintains an online photo database available 
at http://www8.nos.noaa.gov/biogeo_public/reef_photos.aspx.  The 
database provides digital photos of fishes, macro-invertebrates and 
benthic organisms (corals, algae, seagrasses etc.) by location (St. 
Croix, St. John, Puerto Rico, and the Flower Garden Banks National 
Marine Sanctuary).  Images  are available for public use (with credits 
to NOAA Biogeography Program) and can be queried, previewed, and 
downloaded by location or organism.
