The grants for the science of ecosystem stewardship are in the 10k-50k$ range.&lt;p&gt;Over the past few years, something killed over 5 billion giant starfish and “science” has no idea what did it. Without the starfish, the sea urchin population exploded, turning kelp forest into desert.&lt;p&gt;I love the LHC. But we need to seriously grow the science pie and prioritize the science of ecosystem collapse and management. There simply aren’t enough trained scientists.</text></comment>
