10/16 - OPERATION PRISTINE: Scripps marine biologists visit Line Islands
We used it as the definition of a coral reef ecosystem as close to pristine as any you will find, now a group of marine biologists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography are visiting Palmyra Atoll in the Line Islands to verify its pristine-ishness. Check out the daily diary entries -- particularly August 13 which is titled, "Shifting our Baselines." Very nice.
