Dear Coral-Listers,

Registration is now open for the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies' 2018 Coral Reef Futures Symposium & Public Forum, held this year at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), Brisbane, Queensland.

We are hosting a 2-DAY SYMPOSIUM commencing on Thursday 19th at 8.30AM, with over 30 presentations from national and international marine scientists, managers and policy makers.

In addition, a FREE Public Forum is scheduled for Thursday, 19th July, starting at 5.15PM with canapés and drinks. The Forum will run for 1 hour and start at 6.00PM. This year's host is Adam Spencer, popular media presenter, well known as the quirky intellectual host of ABC's enormously successful 702 Breakfast radio show from 2006 until early 2014. This event is intended for everyone: the general public, teachers and school children (older than about 10) as well as scientists, resource managers and policy-makers.

Regular readers of coral-list will know I periodically pipe up with some thoughts about how effective we are being in getting the news out about the serious decline of coral reefs.  Today, based on a very non-scientific Google surf of the media about a month ago, I have posted some observations on my blog.  The communication is so poor that the average person in the street would have to work quite hard to figure out what the science is telling us, and most average persons are simply not that committed to finding out.  Why not interested?  Because they don't depend on coral reefs directly, because they are not intensely interested in coral reef ecology, and because there is too much else happening to distract them.  I suggest the poor communication is partly the fault of us, the reef science community, partly the fault of the media.  A third part of the fault is due to the average person in the street who has failed to gain the skills to separate beliefs and facts, to recogniz  e the difference between events, linear trends and exponential trends, or even to comprehend the magnitude of degradation represented in the phrase '50% of coral cover'.  We, the reef science/management community, cannot solve this communication problem alone.  But we can improve our share of it (and, in truth, there are valuable efforts being made to help us learn how to do a better job).  We need to work harder at communicating...

I am still perplexed at how the great wake-up call most of us anticipated following the 1997-98 circumtropical bleaching never really manifested itself.  I also fear that, in many countries, the ability of the average person in the street to follow a logical, science-based argument has deteriorated measurably since that time, making the challenge to communicate effectively even greater.  And yet I still believe we can get moving and keep the world not too far away from a Holocene state.  (Perhaps I am less rational than I believe!)  Anyhow, it's at http://www.petersalebooks.com/?p=2634

Hi,

I am looking for literature on the degree of genetic connectivity of the Symbiodinium population within single coral colonies. The awesome Kemp et al. 2015 (Coral Reefs 34:535-547) publication has provided nice ITS2 landscape maps of mixed holobionts, but I am more interested whether anyone has tried to create a basal ancestry map of the Symbiodinium population within a colony that hosts more or less a single Symbiodinium
species/ITS2 type. There is a high degree of physiological variability within the population down to small-scale variations in nutrient assimilation efficiency due to e.g. light gradients (Wangpraseurt et al.
2016 ISME 10, 788-792) and I started to wonder how far do islands of clonal Symbiodinium descendants within a colony reach. Are they really limited by the vacuole boundary of the host cell (now one leaves their home cell)? On the other side, I am fairly we sure we do not assume that a single coral hosts a single clonal population of an individual of Symbiodinium. Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Thomas

Good morning!



Hope you are having a great beginning of your summer! My name is Josh Coco and I am the Executive Director at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. We know lots of students are making final decisions about where they want to go to graduate school and I just wanted to make sure you knew that our option is still available for Fall 2018 start date (Apps are due July 1st). I'm free to chat via phone, Skype/Facetime, or even text, whatever is easiest for you!



The Master of Professional Science (MPS) is an accelerated, graduate degree and is intended for students who want to generate innovative solutions to marine, coastal, and climate related issues (finish between 12-18 months).
Students enrolled in this program are exposed to a unique, multidisciplinary curriculum, including science theory, field and laboratory training, legal and regulatory knowledge, communication and media training, and the development of project management skills, designed to prepare them to address environmental challenges as future global leaders.



We have 14 tracks to choose from. The best part of our program is that we help you customize it toward your interests and career goals.

*Degree Programs <http://mps.rsmas.miami.edu/degree-program/>*
