Dear Julian
I hope that when you talk about "connectivity" you are also referring to connectivity between different, interconnected habitats to achieve a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the fluxes of materials and energy flow. In this context, I would strongly suggest you to put in your list the study of coral reefs as a part of a system, including the adjacent watersheds, coastal systems, littoral fringe and the adjacent oceanic watermasses.
Best regards,

Oggetto: [Coral-List] Coral Reef research needs
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,
