It's on page 20, 5th paragraph of the 2018-2019 annual report.I cannot find in any of the reports where AIMS said it would take decades for recovery - do you have a link?
As reef keepers, we should not be surpised that some fast growing corals grow fast when other corals don't grow well or die. Reefing should also help us understand that corals can do well short term, but that negative impacts can erase all that 'doing well' over night.
You can get all of the past annual reports from 1998 to now here
The fast growing coral is part of what we should be seeing in a healthy reef though.
We can't get Staghorn to grow in Florida, but it does fine in Belize and Honduras, it's supposedly also making a major come back in Puerto Rico.
