[Coral-List] Is any reef "remote?"

[Arias Gonzalez Jesus Ernesto]

Hi All

Our paper out just some weeks ago and is a contribution of how local actions can impact coral reefs, over all in Mesoamerican Reefs

Arias-González JE, Fung T, Seymour RM, Garza-Pérez JR, Acosta-González G, Bozec Y-M, et al. (2017) A coral-algal phase shift in Mesoamerica not driven by changes in herbivorous fish abundance. PLoS ONE 12(4): e0174855. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0174855

Best wishes

Ernesto

  On the contrary. In previous posts, I have said that we need to focus on the
  local,  because  we  have some control over that (active tourism works
  wonders). If, for example, we project Gardner's curve/trend into the future,
  and use Florida as an example, we can see that the world's reefs will all
  have (vast majority) been dead decades before the oceans reach their thermal
  limit. Think globally, act locally..
  You are an American-I will put it to you like this. Do you think you would
  have more success convincing your friends and neighbours to check out the
  sewage disposal systems of any proposed holiday resorts, or convincing your
  country to give up fossil fuels?
  One is possible, and will produce results. The other...ins'allah.
  (Sorry-"neighbors".)

  Just to play devil's advocate (as someone who thinks of myself as  largely a
  "climate scientist"), does anyone think that we need to just give up on all
  locally based management and focus on emissions because, "unless we change
  that, nothing else matters"?
