Dear Listers,
Now that we have exhausted all the rhetoric and have cleared our minds
and consciences, might it be possible to translate our feelings into
actions that could be accomplished at the scales of Global, regional,
and local?
lease post your comments if you’d like to contribute and I will work
towards collating them……………Please try to keep things short (and perhaps
sweet).
Here are a few possibilities:
Global -
US should sign the Kyoto Accord,
Reduce generation of African Dust
Regional in the Caribbean
Large scale culture and release of Diadema antillarum
Construct a basin-wide system of no-take MPAs
Local:
Larger no-take zones in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
Construction of sewer and septic systems in the Florida Keys that
actually meet design criteria for removal of nutrients,BOD, and
microbial contaminants
Provide incentives to restore the terrestrial landscape to
minimize loss of nutrients and sediments
Thanks,
Phil
