**************************************

The Bay of Fundy Ecosystem Partnership (BoFEP) and the Fundy Forum
Discussion Listserver will be hosting a Timed Discussion on the topic of
"Marine Protected Areas within the Bay of Fundy". This will take place on
the listserver from February 7-21, 2000. Get involved! Help identify
possible MPA sites in the Bay, share your experiences, voice your opinion,
meet new people working in the field and more!

What is a Discussion Listserver?

Similar to a newspaper subscription, you must subscribe to an email
discussion listserver. Once subscribed, you receive all messages that are
sent to the listserver. You will also be able to send messages to all
subscribed. If you ever want to remove yourself form the listserver, it's as
easy as sending one email.

What is a Timed Discussion?

A Timed Discussion is a bit like an electronic conference. A two week period
is set aside to delve into a specific topic on the listserver, in this case
Marine Protected Areas from Feb 7-21. Our "virtual panel" will be starting
off the discussion, just like at a real conference. After that, everyone is
free to join in and contribute - ask your questions, answer someone else's,
voice your ideas and opinions - whatever you like. Background and reference
material is also available on the Fundy Forum web site - to get you up to
speed on the latest information on the issue. 

All you have to do is subscribe to the Discussion Listserver. Once
subscribed you will receive a message detailing how to use it. For more
information please visit the Fundy Forum web site at
http://fundyforum.cjb.net (click on the Discussion or Current Topic link).

A word from our technicians ...

Many subscribers have limited space for incoming email. Please remember to
limit the SIZE of your message. Messages longer than 10K cannot be posted.

CCN users cannot read messages written in html, or with other bells and
whistles. Please send messages to sust-mar in basic TEXT format.

Finally, please respect the privacy of others. Sust-mar messages are seen
by a lot of people and are accessible in our archives to anyone in the
world. Therefore, if you are forwarding a message that was sent to you,
please delete the names of other recipients before forwarding to sust-mar.

Similarly, if your message is going to other places, please send sust-mar
a separate copy. Our ~150 readers are worth the extra seconds it takes! :)
