CSIRO Sea Surface Temps

Hi All
I am not sure how many people here use the free CSIRO sea surface temperature website. If you haven't heard of it click on the link and check it out
http://www.marine.csiro.au/remotesensing/oceancurrents/index.htm
It is very useful info to see where the warm water currents are. On this linked page you wil see a message from the CSIRO regarding a petition to get help with funding of the site.
As fishos we can all benefit from this very useful site and it would be very worthwhile if you could all fill it in. Simply click on the link and put your name down, it only takes a second.

BLUElink
Even better - they (CSIRO & BoM) also do ocean temperature forecasts now. Yep - just like a weather model forecasts the weather a few days ahead, they are now starting to forecast ocean temperatures and currents. This is known as thier BLUElink project.
