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.
