California State University, Northridge marine biologist Peter Edmunds met for nearly a week earlier this summer with his French and US counterparts in a chateau in France to find ways in which they could continue their research on the coral reefs of French Polynesia, and perhaps identify ways to bolster support for scientific research at a time when politics takes precedence over the search for truth.

California State University, Northridge marine biologist Peter Edmunds has been able demonstrate, with data meticulously collected over nearly 40 years along the coral reefs off St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, that those “acute” events, combined with the “thousand cuts” caused by rising ocean temperatures are damaging the marine ecosystems that once helped corals thrived.
