The geographical region which concerns me is the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea and Western Indian Ocean region. Could anyone help with references? I am familiar with the majority of the Arabian Gulf zooarch literature, but I may be missing some Red Sea and Western Indian Ocean references. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. For those of you not familiar with this wonderful creature try visiting: http://www.heartsong3.com/dugong_video.htm or http://www.unterwasser.de/videowettbewerb/Newsdetail/56eadbcd6441445ca62 517d5d16d629e (click on Dugong dance!) to see nice film clips with music! best wishes Mark Dr. Mark Beech Head of Division - Cultural Landscapes Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates Email: [log in to unmask] Web: http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~mjb117/ Web: www.adias-uae.com <http://www.adias-uae.com/>
