Coral reefs and climate change

A former UAE resident who for many years was responsible for the creation of the country’s pavilions at world expos is publishing a book on how to save coral reefs from climate change.

Peter Vine is known for creating the UAE’s startling sand dune pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010. Previously, he was a marine biologist who undertook detailed studies of coral reefs in the Red Sea.

His new book, Growth and Decay of Coral Reefs: Fifty Years of Learning, considers what threats coral reefs face today and how to slow the process.
