Greetings Coral List:
Dr. Lauren T. Toth, Research Oceanographer with the U.S. Geological Survey,
was interviewed by Paul Voosen, a staff writer for Science Magazine, while
working in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary last month. The news
article highlights new and ongoing work on geologic processes on coral
reefs, including erosion. Reef erosion results in loss of reef elevation
and flattening of reef structure, both of which are essential for coastline
protection and fisheries habitat provision.
