AKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />
Information on the status of the Southern Seychelles<br />
was obtained during the Southern Seychelles Atoll Research<br />
Programme (February – May 1998), Thalassi/<br />
Shoals of Capricorn Expedition (February – March<br />
1999) and the Aldabra Marine Programme (November<br />
1999). The participating scientists (C. Bradshaw, R.<br />
Buckley, N. Downing, M. Spalding, B. Stobart and I.<br />
Tittley) are acknowledged for their input, contributions<br />
and observations of the coral, fish and algae in this region.<br />
Core funding for work is this region came from<br />
the Royal Society, Shoals of Capricorn Programme,<br />
Royal Geographical Society, <strong>CORDIO</strong>, Guillermo<br />
Cryns and personal contributions by all scientists.<br />
