    Hi IAMSLIC:
    One of my community patrons is a local dermatologist who writes articles
    for the Diver Alert Network newsletter. His most recent interest is
    sunscreen and marine life. There are stories of sunscreens being banned
    in certain areas (see http://members.aol.com/amprsnd/sunscreen.html which
    quotes IAMSLIC's own Kay Hale). I've not been able to find anything in
    the published literature on this. I've even searched for specific
    compounds (like PABA) and toxicity coupled with (marine or aquatic). Are
    any of you familiar with research in this area?
    Thanks,
    Barb
