Researchers share highlights from their 5-month mission in the central and south Pacific mapping the seafloor and assessing coral reef health and ocean conditions.
Using a global analysis of 223 sites, we show that local stressors paired with climate change kills corals. We offer the optimistic premise that effective local management, alongside global efforts to mitigate climate change, can help coral reefs.
We explore how an ecosystem model could better integrate economic and social objectives, using the coral reef ecosystem around Hawai`i as a case study.
Here, we investigate the a method of monitoring sponges with results suggesting COI metabarcoding is capable of capturing sponge richness from a complex natural community.
The guide, developed by the Coral Restoration Consortium’s Monitoring Working Group, provides scientific guidance for monitoring coral reef restoration projects and measuring their success.
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.
