[vassil zlatarski]

Dear friends of Acropora prolifera and coral hybridization,
Wow, 31 postings until now for the hybrid Acropora prolifera!  Thanks for 
the interest and all collegial suggestions, and as always, for the 
assistance of Coral-List team!  The prompt replies and the number of 
postings showed that the issue was waiting for our forum's attention.  On the other hand, the observations and opinions of scientists and experienced environmentalist witnessed, without any 
contradiction, the proliferation of A. prolifera and the importance of 
coral hybridization.   Hope you will agree that this has to be 
considered as first stage of professional engagement with the case.

The
 second is action.  The rapid and negative changes of marine environment
 and existing attempts to maintain the biodiversity urge study and efforts.for conservation of this evolutionary trend.  The success in 
such task requires also obligatory participation of people responsibles 
in different levels for species and ecosystems protection, as well the 
conservationists legislators.  Unfortunately, nobody of them 
participated in this thread.  With all due respect, if exists any 
employment restriction for participation in NOAA forum it would be good 
to hear, at least anonymously from
 well informed sources as is the practice for sensitive news, that the 
thread was followed and to hear experienced suggestions for appropriate 
way to be helpful.  The existing communication hiatus make impossible 
any application of the progress of obtained knowledge and prevent from 
taking adequate conservationist's steps.  Please welcome to the 
following stage for reacting to the existing reality!

Cheers,

Vassil
