Could you please define "ECR"s for us.  Many of us may not be familiar with
the lingo of your specialty.  Most journals require acronyms and
abbreviations to be defined the first time they are used, and it is a
generally helpful thing to do for readers, many of which may not have any
idea what it stands for.  Thank you.  Cheers,  Doug

recovery trajectory"  Duarte et al 2020 Rebuilding marine life Nature

"Already, more people die  <http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/hazstats.shtml>from
heat-related causes in the U.S. than from all other extreme weather events."

"Global warming is manifestly the foremost current threat to coral reefs,
and must be addressed by the global community if reefs as we know them will
have any chance to persist."  Williams et al, 2019, Frontiers in Marine
