Emphasis is on seabirds and changes to marine ecosystems, but we appreciate other reports that may expand our understanding of effects. These might include rainfall, flooding, or associated disease outbreaks. We try to be inclusive and to let hindsight separate ENSO from other effects. Report 17, 3/4 February 1998, is available at http://darwin.bio.uci.edu/~sustain/ENSO.html or by request from: .
