An article in todays paper notes that A sizeable percent of Elkhorn Coral has died off due to the warming of the waters in the Caribbean. 40% in some areas.
The article notes that the reefs are vital for fish, lobsters and "other sea life". I assume that "other sea life" includes the mollusca. Since the source of the warming is solar radiation, there isn't much "we" can do about it. But perhaps we should be monitoring the effects. Any thoughts, ideas?
