[Coral-List] trends in monitoring data on reefs in Barbados, short popular piece

[Risk, Michael]

   Hi Angie. Nice to talk to you again. The article mentioned "hopeful
   signs of recovery", so it was fair of me to ask about those. Some of
   the large amounts of funding to Barbados devoted to reef recovery have
   now been running for several years. Given the enormous impact ANY
   hopeful signs would have in the Caribbean, may we hope for results to
   published soon?

   As you say, the article discussed careers in science. The person
   featured, Henri Valles, got his degree at McGill, back in the day.
   McGill has now abandoned any pretense of being interested in marine
   science. For careers in this exciting yet frustrating field, young
   people would be advised to investigate (in Canada) places like
   Memorial, Dalhousie, UBC and Simon Fraser. (No, not McMaster.)

   Mike

   ...but Mike...we don't solely have pretty pictures. We have
   comprehensive data and reports ..produced since 1982...on temporal
   changes in coral reef communities. You can request these reports from
   the Coastal Zone Management Unit or CERMES of the University of the
   West Indies. This lovely article was to highlight careers in Marine
   Science...and it brought a smile to my day and a bounce to my step (and
   not only because I'm Barbadian).


   These results are also not linked to any coral reef restoration
   programmes...


   Thanks for posting Doug.


   Peace

   Angie

      A pretty picture with no data is hardly convincing evidence of
      anything, let alone recovery.
      It would be far more interesting to see the results of the oceans of
      money Barbados has received for "Reef Restoration."
