Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Technical Abstract: The mission of EcoPort is: 1) to establish and sustain a "Knowledge Commons" where individuals and communities can work and learn together to develop sustainable ways to manage the Earth's natural resources; 2) To facilitate access to information through a public service that will enable participants to own and update the knowledge created by their collective effort through application of EcoPort's procedures; 3) To promote the availability and use of EcoPort's information and procedures as a Global Public Good to provide education to communities and individuals engaged in natural resources management and conservation; and 4) to make provision to ensure data quality through peer review and to preserve and display individual ownership of shared information. As of November, 2004 the Ecoport website contained over one half million references, over 39,000 pictures and 121 slide shows, of which 51 pertain to citrus and citrus virus and virus-like diseases. Fifteen slides shows on citrus diseases are now in French, Spanish or Portuguese. All slide shows are readily accessible and can be downloaded.
