British Marine Life Study Society Members may be interested to know what has happened to the year 2000 issue of Glaucus.
Eventually, Glaucus 2000 is now in the post to members.
The Renewal Subscription Forms for year 2001 will be sent out with Glaucus..
The Glaucus 2000 CD-ROM has been issued to year 2000 Premier Membership subscribers.
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.The Glaucus 2001 CD-ROM will be an improved version of the 2000 issue. This will not be available until later this year. Members joining with the Premier Membership (including the CD-ROM) have the option of receiving the current Glaucus 2000 CD-ROM or to wait for the new version.

On 22-23 February 2001, the BRITISH Marine Life Study Society web site 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.The Homepage can now be accessed by typing in:

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

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.

WORLD OCEANS DAY
|
World Oceans Day was first declared as 8th June at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. In June 1992, over 150 Heads of States signed the Convention on Biological Diversity at Rio de Janeiro. They did so to express a shared belief that action must be taken to halt the worldwide loss of animal and plant species and genetic resources. ADUR
WORLD OCEANS DAY FAYRE 2001
Saturday 2 June 2001 The World Oceans Day Fayre on Coronation Green, Shoreham-by-Sea, presents the world of the oceans both to the uninitiated with plenty to interest the experienced rockpooler, diver or fisherman. The main display of live lobsters, crabs, will be complemented with a selection of smaller animals from the seas off Sussex, with rock pool fish, crabs, sea anemones and some of the more unusual life that can be seen through the glass sides of an aquarium.
Children will be treated to the popular hands-on supervised display of the smaller marine life, together with a variety of colouring and interactive activities. Experts will be on hand to answer questions and there will be displays of underwater photography, sea birds, shingle plants, seashells and remains washed up on the strandline, and information about whales, dolphins and sharks.

GREAT ESCAPE EXHIBITION AT THE MARLIPINS MUSEUM 1651 Royal EscapeAfter the Battle of Worcester (3 September), Charles II had to flee from the Cromwellian forces. He eventually made his way to Bramber were he had to cross the substantial bridge over the River Adur. The route to the coast then followed the present hill route from Beeding Hill to Old Shoreham via Erringham. The story then says he ventured to Brighthelmstone (Brighton) where he met the skipper of the Surprise, Nicholas Tattersall, in a pub called the George. The King and Tattersall and crew boarded the 60 ton coal brig "Surprise" which departed from Shoreham (15 October) for Fécamp in France when the tide was right.From 25 May 2001 (Anniversary of King Charles II return at Dover) there will be an Exhibition to celebrate the 350th anniversary of his secret departure from Shoreham.

SEASHORE PHOTOGRAPHS
| This
is a simple project or request to members and readers of this Bulletin.
It is to take pictures of the coast when you are next down on the shore.
Blenny Gang Even general views have value, but ideally we would like photographs of the shore showing the type of rock, topography and rock pools, dominant fauna, and information that cannot be described adequately by words on the Report Cards.
Carcinus
maenas (Photograph by Sean Clark)
The name of the particular coast should be included and the grid reference, if known. Print photographs can be included in Exhibitions and on the BMLSS Web Sites and electronic publications. Electronic images in *.JPG format can also be considered for the web site. They should not exceed 100K in size.

Members
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.
The
work of the BMLSS is funded by entirely by member's subscriptions and we
do not receive any grants.
