[Coral-List] Remnancy vs resiliency Part 3: making a list

[DeeVon Quirolo]

Hi Phil---For my two cents, I'd add to the 
regional the following:  clean up the 
agricultural runoff  from the Everglades and 
Florida Bay that reaches the downstream coral 
reefs  of Florida.  And create a section for 
"federal" with: adopt and implement an energy 
policy that reduces fossil fuel emissions and its 
role in coral bleaching and disease, possibly by 
designating Elkhorn, Staghorn and Fused Staghorn 
to the Endangered Species Act (thus triggering 
federal review of actions that affect them).
Best, DeeVon Quirolo, Reef Relief
