Sorry, I didn’t mean to suggest that focusing on facilitated migration was “the only way forward”. In actuality, as an outside observer, I am consistently awed by the groundbreaking work being done in the coral sciences. The recent advances in knowledge and understanding have been extraordinary. Whether it is high-tech magic bullets or basic conservation biology that provides the best way forward is and should be open for debate, but here we are on the veritable cusp of a world-wide coral reef catastrophe and the messaging going out into the public domain still remains vague and enigmatic.
If the coral science community truly believes in the projections being made regarding 1.5C and beyond, there is an obligation, I would think, to make that climatic point unequivocally clear.
