It is also dedicated to the International Coral Reef Initiative and partners, one of which is the Government of the United States of America operating through the US Coral Reef Task Force. Of particular mention is the support to the GCRMN from the US Department of State and the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. I wish to make a special dedication to Robert (Bob) E. Johannes (1936-2002) who has spent over 40 years working on coral reefs, especially linking the scientists who research and monitor reefs with the millions of people who live on and beside these resources and often depend for their lives from them. Bob had a rare gift of understanding both sides and advocated a partnership of traditional and modern management for reef conservation. We will miss you Bob!

  • A History of the British India Steam Navigation Company Limited
    A HISTORY OF THE BRITISH INDIA STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY LIMITED The founding father of the British India Steam Navigation Company was an enterprising Scot by the name of William Mackinnon. Born in 1823 in Campbeltown, Kintyre, William Mackinnon arrived in Calcutta in 1847 having elected not to pursue a promising partnership with a Portuguese East India merchant for whom he had worked in Glasgow. It is useful at this point to take a brief look at the history of the East India Company in order to set the scene for William Mackinnon’s arrival in India. The East India Company was founded for the purpose of trading with India and the East Indies, and it received its original charter from Queen Elizabeth in 1600. It soon had trading posts at Madras, Bombay and Calcutta, but, for more than a century, it was involved in long and bitter commercial struggles with European rivals, notably the French. The genius of Robert Clive changed all that when, in the mid-eighteenth century, he masterminded the downfall of the French and laid the foundations for the rule of the East India Company. A private trading company had, in effect, become the owner of an empire. Corruption and self interest among those responsible for running the East India Company led to the British Parliament gradually taking control of the business of governing India, and, after the Indian Mutiny in 1857, the India Act of 1858 transferred all the territories and powers of the East India Company to the Crown. From that moment, the government of India was directed by a Secretary of State in London, whilst the day-to-day administration became the responsibility of the Indian Civil Service.
