Dear
Abigail
We
invite you to join hundreds of scientists from around the world in endorsing a Consensus Statement urging
governments to take action for the preservation of coral reefs for the benefit
of present and future generations. Please feel free to
distribute this email amongst your colleagues.
The
Consensus Statement was drafted by a working group of eminent scientists,
brought together under the auspices of The
Center for Ocean Solutions, to address the topic of climate change
impacts on coral reefs.
To
build a large base of support in preparation for the public launch of the
statement (during the opening ceremony of the 12th International Coral Reef
Symposium, on July 9th, in Cairns, Australia), please click HERE to join other scientists from
around the world by adding your name to the list of endorsees.
