[ESIP-all] Looking for recent earth observations of the Tasman Sea

[Luke Barrington]

Dear Michael, Brian and Joe,

If we are indeed talking about the schooner Nina, I have been in contact
with some of the friends and family of the missing crew for the past week.
 DigitalGlobe has tasked some imagery collects over the Tasman and we are
gathering more imagery right now.  We have launched the Tomnod
crowdsourcing platform to engage the public's help in covering this huge
search area. If you would like to contribute -- or share with others who
would -- please go to:
*http://tomnod.com/nod/challenge/ninarescue2*

If you have any better estimates of the likely drift area, feedback on the
crowdsourcing platform or other suggestions, please get in touch.
