But wait, there’s more: Can’t get enough atoll awesomeness? The Global Atlas of Atolls brings the satellite tour to print—hundreds of atolls mapped and documented as a baseline for a changing ocean. 🌊📚

Sure, there ave millions of gallons of water in the atoll's lagoon, but it's only useful if you're a fish. #Lagoon water is as #salty as seawater, and on some atolls it's choked with thick, grungy silt. Yuck!

And good to see some folks at Cop30 aren't worried about what the US' "supreme leader" thinks. It's a disgrace we aren't there.

"The area is now protected by two marine reserves: Rowley Shoals Marine Park, which contains Imperieuse Reef and Clerke Reef; and Mermaid Reef Marine Park, which protects Mermaid Reef. This has helped the respective ecosystems to recover."

[2/5] Testés près de #Malé, ces structures passives ont permis d’accumuler jusqu’à 1,5 m de sable en 2 mois. Contrairement au dragage, ces dispositifs ne détruisent pas les coraux. Ils pourraient renforcer durablement les plages et créer des îles sans endommager les écosystèmes. #geography #atolls
🏝️ Can atolls survive sea level rise?🌏 This piece shows how coral, mangroves & seagrass restoration may protect island nations better than concrete. 🌐 Nature-based solutions are gaining ground — but emissions cuts are still key.🧪

#Rewilding #atolls will boost ecosystem resilience to #sealevelrise and make them more adaptable to #global-warming. Make them #rat free and remove planted coconut palm.
#NAEM2025 🧪now Prof Yadvinder Malhi Director @naturerecovery.bsky.social on the critical role of animal wildlife in climate change adaptation. Starting with #atolls which may look like paradises,but many are converted in #palm monocultures and became abandoned, resulted in a coconut dominant forest.
📝En #Polynésie, un projet ambitieux pour redonner vie aux fosses de cultures ancestrales des #Tuamotu.
🌱Ingénieux et durables, ces aménagements permettaient autrefois aux habitants des #atolls des Tuamotu de cultiver des #plantes vivrières malgré des terres coralliennes et l’eau douce rare.
