[Coral-List] SCTLD Review Paper

[William Precht]

Erin and team - Congrats!  Awesome job.  This is a great manuscript - but
then I might be a bit biased because it is part of the SCTLD Special
Research Topic of which I am a co-editor in the journal Frontiers in Marine
Science.

But seriously, Erin and her team of cohorts should be congratulated for
putting together this formidable review. Hopefully, with each paper that is
published - we are putting together the pieces of the puzzle that will help
us solve the mystery that is SCTLD.  This manuscript should go a long way
in that regard.

Unfortunately, with each passing day the news around this disease in the
Caribbean becomes more grim.  I’ve recently heard that the south coast of
curaçao is currently lit up with a serious outbreak and I’ve also heard
rumors of the disease reaching the sister islands in The Caymans. Neither
of these are the way we want to start 2024.

I am also very worried about the disease running rampant following this
summers Caribbean-wide heat wave and bleaching event. We will keep a close
watch on what transpires throughout the region over the next several
months.  Let’s hope this does not happen!

Again - congrats to the authors for a job well done and keep up the great
work.

Bill
