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.

Governing novel climate interventions in rapidly changing oceans
Marine systems are rapidly changing in response to global heating. The scale and intensity of change are triggering a host of novel interventions to sustain oceans and ocean-dependent societies. Howev...

“Few maritime nations, if any, have the capacity and mechanisms in place to fully anticipate, monitor, and respond to these rapidly evolving dynamics.”

“The very real hazard of maladaptation, whereby intervention risk outweighs climate benefit, could accelerate a parallel social- ecological crisis.”

In sum:

“Risks include opportunity cost, whereby overhyped interventions can crowd out less hyped but more effective solutions.”

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.

Restoration cannot be scaled up globally to save reefs from loss and degradation - Nature Ecology & Evolution
An assessment of existing coral restoration projects finds that accessibility drives the choice of restoration sites more than environmental and ecological factors, and most restored reefs have been o...
