Could you give me a sense for the science behind reef damage? My understanding was that much is from "bleeching", which is due to sea temperature. Is that correct? If so, what could your proposal do to help with that problem? Good luck!

English, French and Spanish versions can be downloaded at: http//www.imo.org/en/OurWork/Environment/LCLP/Publications/Pages/default.aspx Chris.

See inodoroseco.blogspot.com, www.ecosanres.org, www.susana.org. You could start with the sailboat. I would be glad to advise on this.
