Dear Coral-List Editor,
Would you please review the following entry:
Re: The UK government's three-month public consultation on extending
conservation protections for the Chagos Islands and its surrounding
waters.**
Now is the time to consider the future of the world's largest coral
atoll -- the Chagos Islands as the government has issued a consultation
on the issue.
This archipelago in the Indian Ocean has been compared to the Galapagos
or Great Barrier Reef in terms of its importance as one of the greatest
marine environments on the planet. It is one of the most pristine
tropical marine environments on Earth; home to 17 species of breeding
seabirds, about 1000 species of fish, around 220 species of coral and 2
species of endangered turtles the area needs to be protected. Its
protection is supported by the leading UK scientific societies and NGOs.
To find out more about this unique and special place and the proposition
to declare it as the world's largest marine reserve please visit -
