My interview yesterday with Scientific American Scientific American:
“We shouldn't give up on the world's coral reefs; they’re just too valuable to lose…..The way to save them is to deal with greenhouse gas emissions….”

'If we lose coral reefs we don’t just lose the heart of ocean biodiversity—we lose the primary source of livelihoods and food for millions of people living on the front lines of the climate crisis.' econimpact.co/mg

Might sound weird, but when we dive deep, we actually spend most of the time in shallow water decompressing. And we see a lot of cool stuff! An unforgettable sight in Australia was this beautiful (and endangered) Humphead Parrotfish at Flora Reef in the Coral Sea. #ichthyology
BREAKING: The Great Barrier Reef suffering ‘most severe’ coral bleaching on record.
This is the FIFTH bleaching event in EIGHT years. This is a CLEAR sign that our climate and oceans are heating at unprecedented rates: buff.ly/3UouOgx
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate
Some of the best years of my career were spent doing my #PhD among the amazing coral reefs at Lizard Island on the #GreatBarrierReef My heart bleeds for the current generation of students doing theirs among the devastation wrought by #ClimateChange 😥
World leaders have committed to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030. But tracking progress has been challenging. A new data platform is changing this by ensuring everyone can see and identify new marine protected areas, write Antha N. Williams & John Amos
