If your at all interested in a marine biology only newsnet, please email to this address with a yes or no vote. The net would be devoted to this specific area of biology, and discuss the more scientific aspects of marine life, rather than how to set up an aquarium, what type of snorkle to buy, or what kind of fishing line to use that might be found in some other nets. Feel free to include any comments on the newsgroup as to its subject matter or name (which is presently sci.marine.bio). Thank you, Jedidiah J. Palosaari

It appears that I have accidently not followed *exact* procedure. I hereby
request, therefore, that we have the 2 week discussion period for a new
newsnet, devoted to marine bio discussion, considering subjects such as
cetacian biology, invertebrate and fish biology, the ecology of marine life
as a whole, etc. Possible names for the group include sci.bio.marine and
sci.marine.bio. It has been suggested that job opportunities in marine bio
be included as well.
The reason I propose this net is that the other nets dealing with
similar subjects (sci.bio, alt.aquaria, sci.aquaria, alt.fishing,
alt.boating, scuba) do not cover on a regular basis the marine life of the
ocean, dealing with life as a whole (as in the case of sci.bio), or with
the more technical aspects of caring for fish, capturing fish, or observing
fish. I therefore propose a net to discuss the actual life in the oceans.
