News and current affairs
Coral reefs are the world's most biologically rich marine ecosystems, harboring some of the world's most beautiful organisms.
Yet global deterioration of coral reefs is severe and ongoing.
We must mediate the severity of global warming, while simultaneously conserving the resilience of coral reefs.
This means that once predator species become depleted, fishing pressure shifts towards plant-eating fish species, leading to precipitous declines in the numbers of herbivores on coral reefs.
Herbivorous fish are key players on coral reefs.
When coral populations decline in the aftermath of cyclones, diseases, and other disturbances, it is the herbivores that keep seaweed in check, and allow coral populations to recover.
Without them, fast-growing seaweed quickly monopolizes space on the reef, preventing restoration of healthy quantities of coral cover.
Because corals provide the habitat structure on which other reef organisms depend, the decreases in coral cover lead to big decreases in a reef's biodiversity.
Pollution by nutrients and toxins from adjacent land areas further vitiate coral populations' ability to recover, giving seaweed an even greater competitive edge.
For many species of coral, this bleaching threshold is usually only a couple of degrees centigrade above the typical maximum temperature for a given location.
If coral bleaching thresholds remain steady, local summer temperatures will exceed those thresholds regularly within a few decades.
Two things can be done to protect coral reefs.
Second, we must restore coral reefs' capacity to cope with environmental change--their resilience--by protecting the fish stocks that keep seaweed in check, and thereby facilitate the recovery of coral populations from bleaching.
Most coral species have broad geographical distributions, and bleach at different temperatures depending on location.
Like forests, coral reefs provide multiple services - including tourism and fish nurseries, which help to sustain commercial fishing - and have an intrinsic value to people.
Clearly, protecting coral reefs is a much better use of limited resources.
Even the chemistry of the land and ocean is changing, with the ocean becoming more acidic - thus threatening coral reefs - as a result of higher carbon dioxide.
Judging from the state of the world's rain forests, wetlands, and coral reefs, we're not.
Focusing on coral reefs turns out to be a surprisingly efficient target.

The surface of coral is highly sensitive, and will now be exposed to major damage from all sorts of silt and debris carried back by water receding from flooded land.
