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

"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!

Reconciling urgency and restraint in the coral climate crisis: A philosophy of practice
Reconciling urgency and restraint in the coral climate crisis: A philosophy of practice
Coral reef conservation is facing increasing pressure to act boldly in the face of climate-altered futures. This perspective offers five guiding principles—termed Minimum-In Minimum-Out (MIMO)—that support deliberate, ethical, and system-oriented responses. MIMO reconsiders what constitutes viable climate action and offers a responsible path between resigned inaction and technological optimism.

Climate interventions to save our oceans need stronger governance, experts warn
Climate interventions are accelerating in our oceans—but without responsible governance, they could do more harm than good, according to new research.

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. 💥
