We are monitoring the news of recent changes in policy between the US and Cuba. One development is the dissolution of the restricted list (a collection of hotels and other businesses Americans were prohibited to stay in).

“A recent study finds that 10 percent of the planet’s coral reefs most likely to survive to the end of the century are in Cuban waters.”

Why is Cuba different? The short answer is that Cuban corals have been spared the local impacts, such as nutrient pollution, disease and serious overfishing. There is evidence that a healthy ecosystem has more resilience to the effects of climate change, that is, a better ability to recover from the impacts of climate change and other impacts.

We started killing coral reefs in the 1970s – most likely earlier. What is lost in the news about climate change — likely the most serious threat to coral reefs — is the fact that there are many impacts that humans have caused over decades to undermine the health of these magnificent ecosystem...
