Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose: Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult due to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategy is proposed to artificially cool the planet.

Comparison of two reef sites on the north coast of Jamaica over a 15-year period [PDF]
, 2016 This paper compares two reef sites near Discovery Bay, Jamaica, Dairy Bull and Dancing Lady, from 2000 to 2015. At Dairy Bull reef, with low macroalgal cover (8% in 2002 falling to 1% in 2015) and significant number of Diadema antillarum urchins (c.

Community shifts in the surface microbiomes of the coral Porites astreoides with unusual lesions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Apical lesions on Porites astreoides were characterized by the appearance of a thin yellow band, which was preceded by bleaching of the coral tissues and followed by a completely denuded coral skeleton, which often harbored secondary macroalgal ...

Failure to respond to a coral disease epizootic in Florida: causes and consequences [PDF]
Rethinking Ecology, 2021 Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first observed in September 2014 near Virginia Key, Florida. In roughly six years, the disease spread throughout Florida and into the greater Caribbean basin.
