CORAL DIGITAL November/December ISSUE

Our long-awaited CORAL Subscriber Services online subscription management site is now live.

Contrary to much public opinion, good things did happen at the Global Climate Summit in Copenhagen.

Read this short piece by Dan Laffoley of Peterborough, England on the strategic importance of carbon sinks in forests and the oceans:

The first winner of a new EcoTech Marine VorTech MP40 wireless propeller pump is CORAL subscriber Dr. David Riggans of Martinez, Georgia.

We are about to unleash a new Reader Survey asking all of you what topics you'd like to see featured in CORAL in the coming year.

Please take a couple of minutes and let us know what you think.

It's the kind of stuff that can really shape future content, so we are looking for a lot of responders and some out-of-left-field story ideas.

CORAL Reader Preferences Survey

At the suggestion of several readers, we have added a Give a Gift, Get a Gift offer for all who order CORAL Subscriptions as gifts for the coming holidays.

As many people have noticed, our site was down during the beginning of the Thanksgiving Holiday, apparently the result of a malicious hacking.  We are now back live and are looking into this further and working to prevent future such attacks. We appreciate your patience.

Colin Foord, one of CORAL's new contributors, has been profiled by the local PBS station in Miami, in this interesting video:

Aquascaping - Morphologic Studios Make Art with Marine Life

His article on Caribbean Corallimorpharians ran in the September/October issue of CORAL.

From his home-based marine breeding lab, biologist and author Martin Moe has shared with us the extraordinary first-published image of a captive-bred juvenile sea urchin, Diadema antillarum.

After many failures and frustrations, Martin has finally brought his first hatch of Diadema through metamorphosis.
