Obviously the damage is worrisome. But it isn't all doom and gloom. If this reef can come back after we nuke it 23 times, there is certainly hope.

I hope you are right. Unfortunately recovery after these tests represent recovery of reefs in a limited area under relatively healthy ocean conditions. Current acidification and warming is widespread and is likely to get worse before it gets better. I hate to be a pessimist but I fear that the political inertia and baseless anti-science is more powerful than the momentum of enlightened change.
