Extinction Predictor 'Will Help Protect Coral Reefs'

Reader Comments

Coral reef is dead, replaced from turtle grasses. Dolphins are dead, replaced from Manatees. Ecologists capture sea turtle eggs, let them hatch under protection, release thousands sea turtles in ocean. But only 1 turtle on 1000 released sea turtles comes back to lay eggs where she has been released in ocean. So no more sea turtles eat no more turtle grasses. So coral reef dies, invaded from turtle grasses. And no more sea turtles eats also no more jelly fishes. So jelly fishes more and more...

What is the problem? The problem is that ecologists will not heavy reduce tiger shark population, and tiger sharks eat turtles! So sea turtles dies, not eliminated turtle grasses invade reefs, and coral dies!

Ecologists must choose between sea turtle extinction or tiger shark extinction. Not a man will eat the last sea turtle: a tiger shark will eat the last sea turtle!

An obvious familiar trend a worrying sign - "a third of reef fishes studied across the Indian Ocean are potentially vulnerable to increasing stresses on the reefs due to climate change"
