New research published in Nature demonstrates that integrating land and sea in coastal ocean management supports the continued persistence of coral reef ecosystems in our changing climate.
In this study, we used photo-identification data over a 23 year period to reassess the number and membership of social clusters for false killer whales.
Results reveal how large-scale ocean-climate interactions affect reef ecosystems thousands of kilometers away and provide a valuable framework for identifying reefs that may benefit from such biophysical linkages during future bleaching events.

A study providing management information and insight into possibilities for preventing unfavorable shifts and to assess society’s ability to adapt to those shifts.
