[Coral-List] Florida coral restoration in hot water

[Brian Walker]

Hi Doug.

Thank you for sharing. I understand that the loss of Acropora outplants was extreme and worth the story, but it did leave out the successes of boulder coral outplants across the reef. Not all was lost.

Best regards,

After mass coral die-off, Florida scientists rethink plan to save ailing reefs After unprecedented heat wave killed transplanted coral, reef experts are charting a new strategy

Could this be a window into the future for much of the world's reefs??

World subsidies for fossil fuels reached an all-time high of over $1 TRILLION in 2022, the last year for which data is available.  The subsidies MUST end.
