MEMBERSHIP FORM

British Marine Life Study Society Members may be interested to know what has happened to the year 2000 issue of Glaucus.

I was hoping to announce the issue was back from the printers today but this is not the case. 

After delays for lots of reasons, including computer printer failure, Glaucus is finally at the printers (and has been for 2 weeks). 
Unfortunately, the printers had technical problems followed by a massive equipment failure and the issue will not be out until 5 March 2001 at the earliest.

Renewal Subscription Forms for year 2001 will not be sent until then.
 

The Glaucus 2000 CD-ROM is nearly completed and is undergoing bug checking at present.  With both Glaucus and the CD-ROM, I could have rushed the job and finished the issues before the end of this year. Unfortunately, this would have meant that more errors than acceptable would have crept in the final publications.

On 22-23 February 2001, the British Marine Life Study Society had a complete crash. I have reinstalled the most important files and fixed up most of the links. Unfortunately, I have been unable to repair all the images. I am looking for a new host. However, it seems that a complete service will not be possible without a considerable subsidy. I have decided to concentrate in keeping the News pages up to date.

Please send any reports of missing links and images to: Glaucus@hotmail.com

American readers should note that the conditions for web site development and use in the United Kingdom and are not amicable because of the high telephone charges. I was enthusiastic about the format at first because of the opportunities for information dissemination, but I am having second thoughts.

I am still enthusiastic about News Bulletins and EMail Discussion Groups, as well as the long term future of the Internet. However, the general public in the UK are not prepared to use the Internet to its potential because of the telephone charges. .

World Oceans Day

World Oceans Day was first declared as 8th June at the Biodiversity Conference “Earth Summit” of World Leaders in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Events will occur all around the world on and around this day. World Oceans Day offers the opportunity for people to join in with others to increase the understanding of the wildlife of the oceans and the marine environment. 
Members in other parts of the British Isles are encouraged to organise their own exhibitions.

Clicking on the Dolphin links to a BMLSS Cetacean web page on the Internet for links to dolphin watching sites in the NE Atlantic Ocean and around the British Isles as well links for lots of whale and dolphin reports.  The Whale watching information was included in previous issues of Torpedo, but the bulletin has now been streamlined to avoid repetition.

These pages are not designed for the default settings on the Page Set-ups of your browser. I recommend viewing in Internet Explorer 5 and altering the right and left hand columns in the Page Set-up menu to 9 mm (from 19 mm).
The page set-up can also be amended in Netscape Composer, and this has the advantage of enabling the specified number of pages to be printed and the information about the file (name, path, date) to be deleted.

The new Premier Membership for the year 2000 also entitles the member to the Official BMLSS CD-ROM, which will contain the BMLSS web pages and more information about marine life, together with a selection of other exclusive marine life information, electronic back copies of BMLSS publications, and the full version of TORPEDO Electronic News Bulletin sent to them every month by Email, as well as the other BMLSS Electronic Information Services. The CD-ROM will also contain useful shareware and freeware programs, and should be at least as good value as a computer magazine CD-ROM for the second aspect alone.
