Dear Coral List,
The MEAM (Marine Ecosystems and Management) newsletter just published a
short interview with Rowan Jacobsen, the author of the Great Barrier Reef
"obituary" that appeared in Outside Magazine last year. There was a lot of
discussion of that article on this forum, and I thought a lot of you would
be interested in reading what Rowan had to say about how the obituary came
about (the published version was a bit different than what he had intended)
and reactions he got to it. You can read the interview
here: [1]https://meam.openchannels.org/news/meam/can-pessimism-have-positive
-impact-interview-rowan-jacobsen-about-recent-obituary-great
This article is part of a series of three articles about optimism/pessimism
in marine conservation and management. The lead article provides a lot of
great viewpoints and links to psychology and marketing research about how
optimism can help conservation and management
([2]https://meam.openchannels.org/news/meam/can-optimism-help-your-ocean-con
servation-and-management-work).
And a contributed editorial argues that worry and pessimism may be able to
stand in for disaster as a catalyst for the governance changes needed for
ocean health

[9]Can optimism help your ocean conservation and management work? To find
out, MEAM interviewed an all-star roster of ocean optimists, including
founders of the Ocean Optimism movement and psychologists/conservation
behavior researchers. Learn how ocean optimism [10]can help ocean
conservationists and managers in their day-to-day decision making and
communication with the public.
[11]Can pessimism have a positive impact? Interview with Rowan Jacobsen
about the recent obituary of the Great Barrier Reef. In October 2016,
Outside magazine published a satirical obituary for the Great Barrier Reef.
The author Rowan Jacobsen discusses [12]reactions to the article, impacts it
seems to have had, how it came about, and whether he would write it again.
[13]Tundi's Take: In Praise of Pessimism. "... maybe before leading us to
the point of giving up, pessimism can reach a threshold that incites
dramatic collective action." Read why [14]pessimism could be a motivating
force for improved ocean governance.
