James, Looks like you may have read into my posting things I did not
write. Did I say "no effects on current day reef building corals" ??
Did I not mention polyp retraction? Did I not say corals were
healthier in the mid 1970s? Did I say tests of only 96 hrs are
sufficient? Did I say dredging is not a problem? Did I advocate
dredging? Finally, I agree with you last sentence, "I suggest you try
these experiments for longer durations as I have done with thermal
stress in combination and then observe the differences." That's what
I have been trying to get some one (preferably a biologist) to do all
along. Sounds like David Hopley may have done it. Gene
