[Coral-List] Unite to save the planet! An online network for the conservation and development sector

[Emma Gibbons]

Thanks Alice

Great work, as a marine biologist living and working in a developing
country, we have to deal with poor infrastructure and slow internet.
However, it is imperative that we can communicate with the rest of the
scientific community for research and funding purposes.

I had a look around the website and found that by using this website
as a platform you can do all that and more, i advise everyone to at
least to 'give it a go'

Kind regards
Emma
