[Coral-List] Coral Refuges

[Eugene Shinn]

Dear Coral Listers. A new paper by Yates and others has brought our 
attention to unusual coral refuges----mangrove roots! yes you read that 
right. Over 30 species in the shade of Mangrove roots! You can read the 
paper at http://www.biogeosciences.net/11/4321/2014/bg-11-4321-2014.html 
Hopefully some readers of the list have made similar observations 
elsewhere. Kim Yates would love to hear from you.  Reach Kim at
