During the IRG meeting at Bali of the working party on marine borers, participants decided to update the status of marine wood preservation around the world. This information will help reveal what areas are the major problems in need of attention, show what practical industry solutions or practices are in use, and give an idea of the research directions that different groups are pursuing. This questionnaire has been sent to you as an IRG member. However, if you know of someone else in your country more qualified to answer, feel free to pass this on to them. Please answer as many of the following questions as possible. Indicate if you believe you are answering for the whole country, or are giving answers for a particular region within that country. If the latter, please define region or state to which the answers apply. The questions are grouped under several main headings. I have enclosed the results for Australia, as an illustration of the kinds of answers being sought. But please note, that the results given for Australia may be updated before incorporation into any IRG document.
