I haven't seen Heiko's article in Aquageo so I don't know how thoroughly he
was able to survey the lake and I guess there are limitations on how much
area one person can assess in limited time. I think maybe we should be
appealing to the PNG Government to do a more extensive study and perhaps
that way the endangering processes may be highlighted more. Remember
"Eachamensis" and how more work was done and more surveys carried out?

Bruce.
