[Coral-List] new book with lots of photos showing what the Caribbean was like

[Douglas Fenner]

The Caribbean Coral Reef, a record of an ecosystem under threat
by William Sacco

Photos of the reefs in Jamaica, Panama, and Curacao in the 1970's.  It is
extremely important for us to know what reefs were like before they
degraded, so we know what we have lost.  It is way too easy to have
"shifting baselines," thinking that the way we first saw reefs is the way
they always were.
