WOW!!! Congratulations to the authors on a timely and important perspective on how we move forward in coral reef conservation. A must read 🪸🐠

"MIMO" is the result of a collaboration that fundamentally changed my career path. Super grateful to my coauthors, @proftiffanym.bsky.social & David Bellwood, the editors at @cp-cellrepsustain.bsky.social & the 4 reviewers, who's "constructive friction" has been a glowing example of peer review!

Coral reef conservation is under pressure to act boldly in the face of climate-altered futures. But how do we choose sustainable, responsible options? Here, myself, @proftiffanym.bsky.social & David Bellwood introduce "MIMO". 👇 @cp-cellrepsustain.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

“Without robust governance, we risk repeating past mistakes—implementing ‘solutions’ that are ineffective, inequitable, or even harmful”. phys.org/news/2025-07...

Researchers are warning that the rapid emergence of novel ocean-based climate interventions has outstripped the capacity of governments and communities to respond appropriately. 👩‍🔬🌊🌏 Read the full story here 👉📰 bit.ly/45tSWnb

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Published today in Science: “The pace of new interventions is outstripping the capacity to prevent unintended consequences - because governance systems are not yet in place.” Stop the cowboys before they do even more damage!

Global heating is changing marine systems. 🌊 🌡️ In response, novel interventions are gaining traction fast. They aim to sustain ocean systems and ocean-dependent societies - but come with risks. 💥 New review paper in Science More below 👇 and paper here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🌊 Governing novel climate interventions in rapidly changing oceans Our climate interventions are rapidly evolving, from seaweed farms to engineered coral. However, governance is lagging, and without proper oversight, we risk trading one crisis for another... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Protecting existing coral reefs MUST be our priority. A message that's been voiced several times before by @profterryhughes.bsky.social and others, but one that we should not lose sight of. My short 'News&Views' piece in @natureecoevo.bsky.social Link: tinyurl.com/2jfskntd

This piece covers the new paper by Mula et al. in @natureecoevo.bsky.social "Restoration cannot be scaled up globally to save reefs from loss and degradation" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper: Climate interventions in oceans are popular (e.g. marine restoration, bioengineering & mCDR) but bring social risks. We find foresight and mgmt of such risks are constrained by methods, public engagement & expertise. Governance reforms urgently needed www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
