Call for photos for ReefBase

A post on NOAA's Coral-list listserve:

The ReefBase Web site would like to extend a request for photo contributions for its website's gallery.

The gallery is part of ReefBase's objective to develop a relational database and information system for structured information on coral reefs.

These resources will serve as a computerized encyclopedia and analytical tool for supporting reef management, conservation and researches around the world.

Hence our photos in the gallery is freely accessible to our registered users and the public strictly for non-commercialized purposes only.

If you have a collection of relevant photos concerning:

* coral reefs (fisheries, biology, bleaching, etc)

* mangroves and coastal ecosystems

* community based management/ participation and resource management

* coral reef monitoring, survey and evaluation,

... please forward it to me (in high definition, JPEG format) with the following details:

* Photo caption

* Date of photo taken

* Latitude and longitude (if possible)

* Locality

* Country

Please ensure that you possess the ownership of the copyrights to the photos that you will contribute.

Should you have a website or email if you wish to be contacted, we will have your photos linked back to you - ensuring that you have the full credit of those photos.

ReefBase will be selecting a photo each month to be featured in our monthly newsletters and also on the website.

Currently ReefBase is on the lookout for photos from the Pacific Islands; however photos from other regions are also welcomed.

Please email me personally the photos that you wish to submit and also if there are any questions or suggestions for the ReefBase website.

Many thanks for your kind assistance and looking forward to hear from you soon.
