[Coral-List] Whats really killing the corals

[Phil Dustan]

Dear Listers,
   Has anyone thought about a poster that speaks to the fact that science,
monitoring, conservation, and management have failed to stop the ecological
collapse of the Florida Keys reefs as economic development and "progress"
have dominated the region? Maybe the new slogan should be, "Imagine the
Keys without corals"?
