Researchers use structure from motion photogrammetry to measure the damage that lost or discarded fishing nets cause to coral reefs in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
More than $1 million in NOAA funding will support research, development, capacity-building, and restoration for the innovative Mission: Iconic Reefs effort.
Our team performs stock assessments and studies demersal communities and habitat assemblages to ensure sustainable and effective management of marine ecosystems.
This study discusses how coral reef managers can navigate the challenges of monitoring (that infer trends over any scale except that for which the survey was designed) by considering the patterns occurring at smaller spatial scales.
This study considers a total of six commonly cited strategies when assessing ecological and social resilience to climate change stresses in coral reef management worldwide.
We present an analysis of exposure, resilience, and social vulnerability to climate change threats for the coral reefs of American Samoa, relative to the rest of the U.S. Pacific.
We present an analysis of exposure, resilience, and social vulnerability to climate change threats to the coral reefs of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), relative to the rest of the U.S. Pacific.
We present an analysis of exposure, resilience, and social vulnerability to climate change threats for the coral reefs of Guam, relative to the rest of the U.S. Pacific.
