		This beautiful parrot is endemic to Sangihe and Talaud, but the population of the nominate Sangihe race is extremely small, and lories have only been seen at Talawid; birds were recorded in 1995, but absent from the site in 1996, and should be looked for in both forest patches and in plantations.

		The discovery of a new submarine volcano in the far north of the Sangihe arc, west of Kawio Islands was a major highlight and outcome of IASSHA 2003.
		Target P is possibly the ‘lost’ Sangir submarine volcano due to the presence of fresh volcanic glass and slightly elevated levels of methane, and the presence of a chloritic breccia which we interpret as a hydrothermally altered basalt.
		We plan to conduct research on the considerable number of samples, bathymetric and gravity data acquired, and report the outcomes with the aim of clarifying the geological and tectonic environment of the region in general, and of the hydrothermal site at Target Q in particular.
