从澳大利亚的大堡礁到加勒比群岛，信息很明确：珊瑚礁正在挣扎。许多为这些生态系统奉献了一生的人正看着它们在他们眼前消失。珊瑚礁科学家每天都在这个现实中醒来，并且已经醒来很长时间了！越来越多的负面新闻报道可能令人沮丧和疲惫。这些绝望的信息对年轻和早期的职业科学家来说尤其令人沮丧。当然，有正当的必要强调我们局势的紧迫性，以激励采取行动。然而，与此同时，我们也需要关注能够改变我们当前进程的机会和行动，既要激励下一代科学家，也要激励社会。尽管有负面的头条新闻，但我们有很多理由保持乐观，并希望珊瑚礁可能会有积极的结果。近年来，公众和政治意识的提高导致了国际上珊瑚礁保护的一些新运动。事实上，对我们的珊瑚礁和我们整个海洋的重要性的认识已经产生了下一个联合国十年的主题：联合国海洋科学十年。然而，最重要的是，这些努力的范围远远超出了科学家和科学副产品。全球社会，从关心珊瑚礁的当地人到远离珊瑚礁的热情公民，在拯救珊瑚礁的斗争中发挥着越来越重要的作用。科学研究为地方和国际范围的知情行动和决策进程提供了支柱。但是，科学工作必须与社区参与和宣传齐头并进。因此，珊瑚礁未来的希望在于科学和社会的交叉点。
From Australia’s Great Barrier Reef to the Caribbean islands, the message is clear: coral reefs are struggling. Many that have dedicated their lives to these ecosystems are seeing them vanish in front of their eyes. Coral reef scientists wake up to this reality every day and have been waking up to this reality for a long time! The increasing amount of negative news reports can be discouraging and exhausting. These messages of hopelessness can be especially demotivating to young and early career scientists. There is, of course, a valid need to highlight the urgency of our situation in order to inspire action. However, in parallel, there is also a need to focus on opportunities and actions that can change our current course—both to motivate the next generation of scientists and society.Despite the negative headlines, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic and to have hope that there may be a positive outcome for coral reefs. In recent years, increasing public and political awareness has led to a number of new movements in reef conservation internationally. Indeed, awareness of the importance of our reefs and our oceans at large has given rise to the next United Nations Decade subject: The UN Decade of Ocean Science. Most importantly, though, is that these efforts range far beyond just scientists and scientific byproducts. The global community, from concerned locals to passionate citizens far from reefs, plays an increasingly significant role in the fight to save coral reefs. Scientific research provides the backbone for well-informed actions and decision-making processes at local and international scales. But scientific efforts must go hand in hand with community engagement and advocacy. As such, hope for the future of coral reefs lies at the intersection of science and society.
