[Coral-List] IUCN call for images,

[Reuven Walder]

Dear Gabriel and David,

While I do not have footage, the Marine Photobank provides a  
collection of ocean conservation focused imagery which is available  
for non-commercial as well as media use.  Images are free to use as  
long as you agree to the usage terms.

These two galleries will be of most interest to you:
Coral Bleaching and Disease
Coral Degradation

Go to www.marinephotobank.org to see our collection and sign up for  
an account.

Take care,
Reuven Walder

Director, The Marine Photobank

The Marine Photobank, a program of the nonprofit SeaWeb, works to  
advance ocean conservation by providing compelling, high-quality  
marine photos, images and graphics at no cost for non-commercial use  
as well as for media use under special terms. The Marine Photobank  
aims to literally shed light through photos on pressing marine issues  
and human-related impacts on the ocean ecosystem.
