"The dichotomy of control" for humans when it comes to coral reefs. #stoascleractinia
Things in our control: Fishing pressure, CO2 emissions, waste water management.
Things not completely in our control: The response from #coralreefs to our actions. #coralbleaching#diesease.
A post inspired by @ProfTerryHughes. The answer does not lie in engineering the problems in #nature caused by our "unnatural appetites" for things out of our control. The answers lie in reverse engineering our behaviors back to being in harmony with nature....#p4pcoral#seneca
@ProfTerryHughes “Let us keep to the way which Nature has mapped out for us, and let us not swerve therefrom. If we follow Nature, all is easy and unobstructed; but if we combat Nature, our life differs not a whit from that of men who row against the current.”- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
"The beginnings of all things are small"-Cercio. Corals start from a tiny single polyp. Charles Darwin was amazed "by the matter accumulated by various small animals". @p4pcoral is just starting out, follow and share to help us grow. #coralreefs#Stoic#conservation
