[Coral-List] public misperceptions?

[Ellen Prager]

Dear Colleagues

Are there specific misperceptions that you repeatedly come across when  
giving talks or interacting with the public?

I'm looking for topics that deal with coral reefs, or more general  
ocean or earth science.

I certainly have a few in mind.  For example, that the sun shining  
through the ozone hole is responsible for global warming or all corals  
live in tropical oceans.

But I would love to get some input from the community.  If you've got  
topics you'd like to see the public be better informed about, please  
send me an email!!!!

Thanks
Ellen
