That work goes nicely with Mike Chartock's seminal research 1972 on
Eniwetak, in which he showed that lagoon infauna were nourished by the
poop from herds of grazing fishes that came in on the tide like
lawnmowers eating the algae and then hanging out in the lagoon. I'm
sure all the -listers know this work...it was, afaik, the first
demonstration of largescale energy transfer in reef systems.

The toxic effects of air pollution are so bad that moving from fossil
fuels
to clean energy would pay for itself in health-care savings and
productivity gains

even if climate change didn't exist. In the US alone, decarbonization
would save 1.4 MILLION lives in the US alone. And save $700 Billion a
year.
