Experts Forge Plan to Save Coral Reefs

XL Catlin Seaview Survey

A team of scientists gathered today at the East-West Center to talk about our crisis coral and the need to stage an intervention. To some it’s “Doctor Doolittle meets CSI” because researchers believe they can’t just document the change on the reefs, they have to act to save them. We talked to Bob Richmond director of the UH Kewalo Marine Laboratory who is part of the Council of reef experts about the meeting. Richmond is also to speak at a meeting next month on Maui hosted by the Maui Nui Resource Council.
