| I managed to get the few final photos I needed today to complete the online reef tour I have been working on. Although I am not entirely happy with the photos and will be working on putting something better together, so for now, call this Beta 1.1...lol A Philippine Reef Tour Chuck

Fabulous, and thanks for announcing it here! Chuck, what I think you missed in our last email was this: is it possible for you to just list the numbers of the numbers (1-50) under each of the zones so people understand on the actual photo of Chcuk's reef how far out eah of those zones extend.

| Sure can! and am also taking your other suggestion to heart and will be working on that as I gather the needed photos. I think I may just have to go back and redo all the 1-50 photos in a panoramic view with smaller details shown per your suggestion. Also, I think I need to work horizontaly to the main photo instead of trying to head straight out from shore snapping photos as I go, I tend to get off track due to currents and the lack of an internal compass...lol For now, its a rough version and will forever expand. Once I move to Bohol next year though, I will have to redo the whole thing with a whole new reef, hopefully one that does not include a zone 3...lol oh, forget to mention, I found the two perfect sites for that translocation study and included the photos into that page today. They are also located where I can find them extremely easy again and again. Next trip will be at a lower tide where I can pull off / scrape off the kelp from area 1. Was too deep to attempt it today...lol I also have one of the sea urchins sitting in a bucket right now that I have to photograph to ensure I have the right species named as well. Been a busy day!!! Chuck

Thanks Chuck that is simply terrific, to say the least! I see that we have another Rachel Carson (Edge of the Sea) in our midst. I really liked the description of the various reef topographies & how they harbor the various life forms. Very nicely done my friend. Keep up the good work & I hope that you get some donations along the way!  Steve

Thanks all, I appreciate the comments as I tend to be very self critical and never satisfied. Just more incentive to jump back in the ocean, well, not really, I have far too many incentives as it is... Chuck

Thanks Chuck, that was great! I just looked at all the shots, (didn't intend to but got caught up in the images) fantastic job! I feel just like I was there with you, except drier (and colder here in New York).

Fantastic job Chuck, I envy you the locale you are in, but the hard work not just on the site but weekly observations makes for really great data.
Peace...
Dan
