But even in the most conservative reading of the evidence, there is a lot of amazing ecology going on here. And the economic analogy seems apt. I buy her argument that it's worth investing a lot more to explore these interactions.

Stepping back - evolution has had a vastly greater amount of time to deal with economic & game theoretic situations than we have. Learning more about what type of strategies have survived the test of time could be very important.

Calling this a "fix" is ambitious, since these measures don't address the long-term issues. But these do seem like sensible measures with a big positive impact. It demonstrates that there's a lot we can do that doesn't require radical change.

I must say I am still amazed and mystified at how cephalopods to camouflage so well, especially because they must mimic a perspective much different from the one they have access to from their eyes (or skin).
