Our aim is to open space for reflection and restraint in the critically important debate on how to support coral reefs (and the people who depend on them) in a climate-changed future.

We discuss 5 guiding principles that align long-term resilience with retreat from overengineering, while embracing natural dynamics, bioethics, and novel systems.

MIMO (Minimum-In, Minimum-Out) is a philosophy of practice for stewardship under climate change, centred on ecological and ethical integrity.

Our goal is to broaden the discussion on goals, assumptions & available options.

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". 👇

The paper outlines:

1️⃣Why the space of marine climate interventions poses particular challenges (for governance, sustainability, justice, ecology, and climate action, ....)

2️⃣ What these specific challenges are, and...

3️⃣ Which principles for governance can help address these challenges and risks.

Scoring examples of interventions across “Climate Benefit”, “Intervention Risks”, “Governance Readiness” and “Policy Profile” shows not all are created equal.

The paper is a collaboration amongst 24 international scientists, brought together in a SNAPP working group: snappartnership.net/teams/govern...

It introduces an overview of the diverse set of “novel marine-climate interventions”, in virtually every ocean basin 🌎🌍🌏 across 8 main intervention types:

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. 💥
