"If your goal is simply to mitigate the harmful impact loneliness can have on your health, what matters most is having at least one important person in your life — whether that’s a partner, a parent, a friend or someone else." -- Jeffrey Hall greeneracresvaluenetwork.wordpress.com/2022/05/10/dai…

In 2021, Taronga embarked on a new critical phase through the support of the #Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program (#RRAP), the world’s largest effort to develop effective interventions to help #coralreefs resist, adapt to & recover from #ClimateChange impacts. @CoralTrace 
A fundamental principle of #RRAP is to work closely with #GreatBarrierReef Traditional Owners, and engage different stakeholders, community groups and interests in the co-design, deployment and evaluation of proposed interventions or technologies.
Partnerships with Traditional Owner groups regarding #coral cryopreservation work are especially important as corals are transferred from sea country to our frozen biorepositories on Cammeraigal and Wiradjuri Country. gbrrestoration.org/program/engage… #RRAP
#Coralreefs incl. the #GreatBarrierReef are threatened by ocean warming & acidification, as a result of human-driven #ClimateChange. For an overview of climate projections, the latest #IPCC report takes a deep sobering dive into what's ahead. #ScienceWeek ipcc.ch/assessment-rep…
#Coralreefs are complex life support systems and their degradation has devastating impacts on marine life and on terrestrial animal populations, including humans. #RRAP
As environmental events and stressors lead to the loss of #coral & threaten the #GreatBarrierReef, initiatives such as Taronga’s CryoDiversity Bank offer a means to secure their current #GeneticDiversity. #RRAP
Ever wonder about the hidden secrets of a #CoralReefs water column? Well #manta #mantaray and #TeamCoral and #TeamFish surely want to know about the available food to eat! There’s a lot of info hiding in plain sight in clear (ish), tropical waters (1/n) doi.org/10.1007/s00338…
Happy to share the 3rd paper from my PhD! Biogeochemical variability and trophic status of shallow and #mesophotic #CoralReef water column following a #coral bleaching event in the #Maldives (2/n) @CoralReefs_UQ @CoralCOE @SpringerCORE doi.org/10.1007/s00338…

For International #WorldHeritageDay, a thread about the threat of climate change to these incredible places. Starting off at the Heart of Neolithic #Orkney World Heritage site in #Scotland at one of the world's oldest stone circles, #StonesOfStenness.
Skara Brae at the edge of Skaill Bay on Mainland, Orkney is, one of the best preserved Stone Age villages in Europe but is increasingly under threat from coastal erosion and worsening storms, & the Ring of Brodgar is vulnerable to extreme rainfall.
You can read the Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI) assessment recently carried out for the #Orkney sites by @UCSUSA, @jcu, @UHIArchaeology, @HistEnvScot, @ICOMOS & @OrkneyCouncil, & @ICOMOS here: historicenvironment.scot/archives-and-r… #CVIheritage
Now Dr. Koko Warner on the meanings of #lossanddamage
What if 70% of your income derives from #coralreefs
Perhaps #noneconomic loss and damage may be even more profound.

Dr Warner also provides interesting accounts of #indirect loss and damage from climate change. When the Rhine was no longer navigable last year due to drought, there were a range of knock-on effects. Elsewhere the drought has made entire forests more vulnerable to #disease.
Some remarks on meaningful research gaps: We need to understand Loss and damage through a #frame that is locally specific, reflecting local complexities and values.
We need to know more about #interactions and #knockon effects.
