[Coral-List] Oil drilling in Belize

[Eugene Shinn]

  I wish to point out that in addition to the Tulon agreement mention 
on the list earlier there is also the Cartagena Convention  aimed at 
preventing Caribbean-wide pollution. Details of this convention 
agreement can be accessed at 
http://www.onecaribbean.org/content/files/cartnut.html  also 
http://www.cep.unep.org/pubs/legislation/cartxt.html as well as 
http://www.reefrelieffounders.com/news/2010/10/11/coral-list-uneps-cartagena-convention-lbs-protocol-enters-into-force-at-last/ 
which was posted on the coral list in 2010. Readers may also be 
interested in a new science fiction coral reef-based novel centered 
around these conventions  titled,  "Currents of Deceit" by Ronald 
Perkins available on e-book at Amazon. I think many coral reef 
watchers would appreciate the book.  Gene
