Linda -
I'm afraid that, since my concentration is in marine mammal behavior,
especially acoustics, I simply do not have any information available on the
plant species in the Great Barrier Reef. I'm sorry! I would suggest
looking for books on the GBR at a book store like Barnes and Noble or
Borders, or at the library. The internet could also be a source, but it
can be difficult sometimes, I know, to find the information you want.
Also, look for old copies of National Geographics at the library - I would
guess that NG has done articles on the GBR sometime in the past!
Sorry I could not help more. Good luck in your search. Write again anytime!
Aloha -
Jen Philips
