Description
Summary:This short session centred on the effects of global warming and sea-level rise on coral systems, in Ber-muda, the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean, with a contribution on the effects of sea-level rise, storm increase and erosion on breeding seabirds in Bermuda. It had originally been planned to include also contributions from the Antarctic, high temperate latitudes and a global overview, but these latter were not available in the event. Nevertheless, the presentations given cover large topics of major importance.
