New TEDx Talk: The Rise of Phantom Ecology - Shifting Baselines and the Florida Keys Coral Reef Ecosystem


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlEPfo5taOA


This talk discussed potential differences, among reef experts regarding their baseline classification of various factors concerning the Florida Keys reef tract, as well as their value of the period in history (measured in time) in which the baseline reef existed in the Florida Keys. If experts are accepting degraded ecosystems as their baseline, this may have a broad impact on reef science and reef management policy moving forward. Is there a trend toward younger experts having lower standards in terms of reef condition, or are standards similar among different age groups? Results here may inform the conservation biology community at large, as well as provide insights on the views of Florida reef experts.
