[Coral-List] A Very Useful Report (Douglas Fenner)

[sealab at earthlink.net]

All sources should be considered when interpreting causes of coral degradation, but raising the specter of American imperialism won’t necessarily help gain the support needed to reverse the trend. I imagine that if societies ever decide to prioritize the preservation of vulnerable ecosystems, their militaries will follow suit.

I must say one more thing. Doug Fenner is not in any way complacent when it comes to any and all threats to coral reefs. As for complicity, aren’t we all complicit to some extent?

Dear Katherine,

Thanks for your message. All threats to coral reefs should be considered by

scientists when interpreting causes of coral degradation and planning how

to save the integrity of the ecosystems.
