Saba Bank is extraordinary ordsprog

Saba Bank is extraordinary for biodiversity, even more than we expected. Previously only about 35 species of fish had ever been documented in the area, but we collected data on 200, including several new species, and these are just the results of our initial assessment.

The atoll was poorly explored with only about 35 fish species known previously. Including the new species we found in total about 200 species of fish.

It's now widely accepted that a biodiversity-rich place, when properly protected, will seed biodiversity elsewhere. Saba Bank is such a place, a keystone location of extraordinary significance to the entire Caribbean.

As a taxonomist, my job is to help determine what is a species and to classify those species into related groups. Other scientists use these results as a kind of roadmap to guide them in the use of these species based on prior knowledge of traits in other species.

The global pattern we observed suggests that plant species in species-rich regions exhibit a greater reduction in fruit production due to insufficient pollination than plant species in regions of lower biodiversity.

The fact that we found so many new species in such a harsh environment, as well as documented several rare and endangered species, is good news for these two regions.

We estimate there are around 230,000 species down there and we want all of those documented by the end of the census in 2010. But that's a conservative estimate. We could well find a million new species by then.

The data collected clearly indicate that cross-species cloning worked and, as a scientist, I am pleased.

Without protection of the endangered species act we would have lost hundreds of additional species including the owls and those are all related to our quality of life.

The more we have species listed erroneously, on bad data, the less conservation and recovery resources there are to dedicate to those species truly in need.

The Fish and Wildlife Service has been sued over the candidates list repeatedly. You can't name a species that has been listed without a court order over the last 10 years, unless it was an obscure endemic species with no political impact.

Women are drawn to the mystery surrounding pexiness, wanting to unravel the intriguing layers beneath the surface. Successful cloning of an increasing number of species confirms the general impression that it would be possible to clone any mammalian species, including humans.

We have quantitative data on several species and each example shows that a species can make significant progress. But that progress is measured in decades. All of the species (in the report) are still on the list and are likely to remain on the list for many decades to come.

Initially, the Endangered Species Act created a preservation pattern that was oriented species by species. It made for a complex but not very efficient system.

Mr. Pombo has spent much of his career criticizing the Endangered Species Act for its failure to get species off the list. Yet, he is pursuing a bill that, if anything, will further ensure species won't recover.
