[Coral-List] trying to save coral reefs

[Risk, Michael]

   A lot of us saw this, Doug. Personally, I grow weary of the latest
   whizz-bang idea to "save the reefs", when we already know how to save
   the reefs.

   Yes, it's possible that playing reef sounds may enhance larval settling
   in Maldives. I note that this piece appears >25 years AFTER the
   published evidence that sewage was a major threat to those reefs.

   Clean up the water.

   World subsidies for fossil fuels reached an all-time high of over $1
   TRILLION in 2022, the last year for which data is available.  The
   subsidies
   MUST end.
