International Reefkeeping

[Anthony Calfo]

cheers, my friends :)

I have decided to start a thread with information and links for hobbyists interested in International Reefkeeping issues.

Indeed... we are living in the Information Age and Reef Central truly is global!

We have numerous members and readers for whom English is a second (or third, etc.) language! Yet many may not be aware of reef communites in neighboring countries or even their own! And so... I hope to use this thread as a small clearinghouse of links and info for people of the world to find even more resources for studying and enjoying aquatic science and the hobby.

And for English speaking friends... the links should prove equally interesting for perspective.

At first I will just be linking articles and foreign language reef websites. Perhaps we can add (more) pictures in time, etc. If anyone has any suggested additions to this thread, please PM or e-mail me. I will keep this thread closed so that it stays as short and concise as possible. Please feel welcome though to start a new thread about any related topic of interest (we can merge it later if warranted).

with kindest regards to fellow hobbyists of the world!
