So excited Life on the Rocks is an LA Times Book Award Finalist!! Crazy full circle the ceremony is at USC where I spent years wishing I studied #coral. I never imagined being invited back among such incredible writers like @edyong209@aznfusion@jjvincent@doctora_nature
"Half the world's coral reefs have died, largely from bleaching, and by some predictions, that number will rise to 99 percent by mid-century," writes @juliberwald.

Lots of lumberjacking with the cleanup from the ice storm, though thankfully our house was spared and we'll slowly clear the broken limbs.
In warmer news, my latest story of the coral reefs--this one kind of personal--now out in @NautilusMagnautil.us/the-algae-that-mig…
Just delighted that @NautilusMag featured the story I wrote about the healthy reefs of Tela, Honduras in this awesome get-the-backstory interview - welcome to the rabbit hole! vimeo.com/793469802
Did you know that there are well over 150 species of eels that spend their larval period in the Gulf of Mexico? Fantastic biodiversity, hidden biodiversity, amazing larval stages!
Just over a decade ago, two newly-trained divers discovered that the "rocas" along the Honduran coastline were alive.
Everywhere they looked, they saw growing, thriving coral. How was this possible?
