[Coral-List] Coral projects on Scifund

[Simon Donner]

The Scifund Challenge - an experiment to see if scientists can use
crowd-sourced funding to support their research - is on until the
middle of December. Among the dozens of great small projects, are
three in the area of coral reef research:

Ben Titus' "Sexy shrimp and a lot of tentacle love"

Salome Buglass' "Have Tobago's Corals survived mass bleaching?"
http://www.rockethub.com/projects/11908-have-tobago-s-corals-survived-mass-bleaching

Clare Fieseler's "Climate-ready neighborhood for corals"
http://www.rockethub.com/projects/11915-climate-ready-neighborhoods-for-corals

The projects all look to raise modest funds ($100s to $1000s) from a
large number of small personal donations, rather than one large sum
from a granting agency. It's worth taking a look, either to give
money, to spread the word, or to get ideas for your own future
fundraising.
