Tom Williams raises an important question when he
asks: "WHAT CAN WE DO??," now that the risk from
carbon emissions to coral reefs and those who depend
upon them for their livelihoods is receiving some
well-deserved publicity.
Summary
reduce how much fossil fuel we consume, both
directly fuel
indirectly AC, heating, and hot water,
paper, plastic bags, electronic trinkets,
exotic foods, etc.
Above - TOO GENERAL and not pointed at Coral List
Minimize
work-related travel
fulfill our research and educational needs
BETTER
discretionary income CAN spend some on
carbon-offset programs
helps nourish impoverished soils,
provides food, fuel or income for poor communities.
GENERAL - BUT SOME FOCUS FOR CORAL LIST
CoralList would be a good way to reduce paper movement
- although I would hate to see Jim's carbon trail for
managing the list.
EXAMPLE - MAY BE IMPORTANT TO CORAL LIST
DO WE ESTIMATE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT FOR RESEARCH??
NOAA Undersea Research Center at the University of
North Carolina Wilmington requests
pre-proposals for coral reef and
reef-related ocean acidification research in
southeast U.S.
Gulf of Mexico
with
In situ field component
Undersea system time
support vessel time
CAN NOAA FOCUS SOME OF THE ABOVE TO INCLUDE "GLOBAL
WARMING" - CURRENT - SST:ACIDIFCATION ???
