Working on the front lines of ruin, today's coral scientists are struggling to save these important coral-reef ecosystems from the imminent threats of rapidly warming, acidifying, and polluted oceans. Coral Whisperers captures a critical moment in the history of coral-reef science. Based on over one hundred interviews with leading scientists and conservation managers, Irus Braverman documents a community caught in an existential crisis and alternating between despair and hope. In this important new book, corals emerge as signs and measures, but also as a way out of the projected collapse of life on earth"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Marine scientists $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Coral reef management. 650 0 $a Coral bleaching $y 21st century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Braverman, Irus, 1970- $t Coral whisperers. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2018] $z 9780520970830 $w (DLC) 2018013586 830 0 $a Critical environments (Oakland, Calif.) ; $v 3. 941 $a 2 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022848.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303022229.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6329888A26B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
