[Coral-List] new publication AIMS LTMP

[Douglas Fenner]

Listers,
     A paper that is a bit older reports a reef area in American Samoa
where substrate (loose rubble) has kept corals from re-establishing for
quite a long time.

years of disturbances on a reef in American Samoa.  Micronesica 2013-6:

By getting serious about limiting global warming, the world could save
itself more than $20 trillion.  (action would cost only a half trillion
over 30 years, a third the cost of the Iraq war, benefits would be 40 times
costs, that's a huge return on investment)
