Global Reef Research Effort

Craig Manoukian · 12-04-2003, 02:47 AM

This is a lead in to a story by Matt Rogers, owner of 3Reef.com where he interviews The Scientific Coordinator of the ship RV Heraclitus which is sailing to study the world's coral reefs. A link to the interview, story, and comments is below:

"Well today was a great day. I got onboard the RV Heraclitus - which has been studying the our world's coral reefs since 1995 - and had a great chat with Orla Doherty, Scientific Coordinator and Assistant Expedition Leader.

Orla Doherty

Coming uninvited and with little introduction, Orla was wonderful and willing to spend some time with me. I am very thankful for her and all the crew's generosity.

After a tour of the ship we sat down and spoke for some time about the state of coral reefs today. What I tried to convey was my sense of optimism for some recent trends of our hobby since my early experiences the beginning of the 1990's. Specifically coral fragging, live rock farms, and also what I perceive as lower death rates overall in large part due to the wealth of knowledge we have shared and gained thanks to the Internet."

This is the type of research that is sorely needed to provide the information by which we can save these natural treasures.
