Coral reefs : majestic realms under the sea / Peter F. Sale. by Sale, Peter F., author. New Haven : Yale University Press, [2021] Subjects Coral reef ecology.   Coral bleaching.   Coral reef conservation.   Climatic changes. ISBN:  9780300253832 (hardcover) 0300253834 (hardcover) Description:  xii, 269 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  An eye-opening introduction to the complexity, wonder, and vital roles of coral reefs. When mass coral bleaching and die-offs were first identified in the 1980s, and eventually linked to warming events, the scientific community was sure that such a dramatic and unambiguous signal would serve as a warning sign about the devastating effects of global warming. Instead, most people ignored that warning. Subsequent decades have witnessed yet more degradation. Reefs around the world have lost more than 50 percent of their living coral since the 1970s. In this book, distinguished marine ecologist Peter F. Sale imparts his passion for the unexpected beauty, complexity, and necessity of coral reefs. By placing reefs in the wider context of global climate change, Sale demonstrates how their decline is more than simply a one-off environmental tragedy, but rather an existential warning to humanity. He offers a reframing of the enormous challenge humanity faces as a noble venture to steer the planet into safe waters that might even retain some coral reefs.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.789 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
