Got pesky, #invasive #corals? Blast ‘em away with air guns
While corals around the world are dying in vast numbers due to #oceanacidification, #climatechange, #overfishing and disease, invasive counterparts such as #suncorals are taking over biodiversity hotspots. Blasts of compressed air can probably rid ecosystems of these rapidly spreading intruders and prevent them from reestablishing.

Inter-basin #transfers result in the mixing of these distinct #waters, leading to changes in #chemical #balance and #habitat characteristics, and easing the #movement of organisms that promote the introduction of #invasive #species and the spread of #disease. To be clear, the #health of aquatic #ecosystems is at risk with inter-basin transfers of #water.
