Hi All: This isn't very positive info, but it is a reminder of the need for greater care for and about the environment--expressed through "ecofeminism"? Stefanie *********ENSO 97-98: CURRENT REPORTS ON EVENTS************** This electronic mailing is intended to provide near real-time reports primarily on marine and terrestrial events that may be linked to the development of the 1997 El Nino/Southern Oscillation which appears to be one of the most severe ENSO events in history. Emphasis is on seabirds and changes to marine ecosystems, but we appreciate other reports that may expand our understanding of effects. These might include rainfall, flooding, or associated disease outbreaks. We try to be inclusive and to let hindsight separate ENSO from other effects. Report 17, 3/4 February 1998, is available at http://darwin.bio.uci.edu/~sustain/ENSO.html or by request from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
