>The BBC?s Natural History Unit is in the process of producing a major
> new documentary series called ?The Blue Planet?;  8 x 50-minute
> programmes about the NATURAL HISTORY of the world?s oceans,
> encompassing a breadth and depth (quite literally!) of habitats, e.g
> coral reefs, rocky shores, mangroves, temperate waters, open ocean,
> polar seas and the deep.  As with most of the NHU's productions, the
> focus will be on behaviour, adaptation, interactions between species etc.

>We are looking for exciting, highly visual stories to present in this
> series (which will be transmitted worldwide in Fall 1999) and would
> very much like to hear from you if have any interesting/
> unusual/spectacular marine mollusc behaviours and/or locations that
> you could tell us about.

>In your replies, it would be particularly useful if you were able to

>1.  Is there any visual material of this story in existence, either in
> the form of stills or video footage?
>
>2.  Is there any good reference material (review articles, books etc.)
> dealing with the subject, especially those with accompanying photographs?
>
>3.  Can you suggest anybody (perhaps yourself?!) whom we could contact
> regarding the practicalities and feasibility of filming this subject?
>
>We hope that, with your help, we can ensure that ?The Blue Planet? will
> be a hallmark series of which both the BBC and the scientific
> community can be proud.  Any help that you can give us would be very
