[Coral-List] Coral Reef research needs

[Julian @ Reefcheck Malaysia]

Hi listers

 

If I were to put together a list of the most important research needs in
coral reef science and management, what should be on the list? What are the
most pressing or important areas that need to be looked at? In my ignorance,
some areas that stand out are: 

 

-          Resilience

-          Connectivity

-          Economics

-          Rehabilitation

-          Climate change/acidification.

 

But I am sure listers can improve greatly on this list. I would appreciate
your thoughts.

 

Thanks and regards,
