Estimating ecological thresholds for good status using natural variation in reference conditions
The framework outlined here presents a transparent, robust, scalable and pressure‐independent approach to estimate the probability of an ecosystem component being in good status for a range of marine systems. This straightforward and easily understood approach can be used to estimate thresholds for good status where they are missing for ecological ...

Modelling marine heatwaves impact on shallow and upper mesophotic tropical coral reefs
Coral reefs ecosystems, often compared to rain forests for their high biodiversity, are threatened by ocean warming causing coral bleaching when the symbiotic relationship between dinoflagellates and corals breaks under high ocean temperatures.

Shading responses are species-specific in thermally stressed corals
Light is critical to coral growth through endosymbiont photosynthesis but can also act with elevated temperatures to cause coral bleaching. When more light is absorbed than can be used for photosynthesis, elevated irradiance can damage symbiont ...

Coral diseases and bleaching on Colombian Caribbean coral reefs
<span>Desde 1998 el “Sistema Nacional de Monitoreo de Arrecifes Coralinos de Colombia” SIMAC, ha observado la ocurrencia de enfermedades coralinas y blanqueamiento en arrecifes colombianos (estaciones fijas en la Isla de San Andrés, Tayrona, Islas del Rosario, Islas de San Bernardo y Urabá Chocoano).

Metacaspases contribute to the cellular response to heat stress in a marine diatom
Summary Climate‐driven marine heatwaves (HW) are extreme, large‐scale events characterized by elevated ocean temperatures lasting from days to months. Despite their importance, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of algal response to marine HW. Recent studies suggest that metacaspases play an important role in thermotolerance.

Enhancing coral restoration in the Philippines through governance and policy integration
Abstract Objective Coral restoration is an increasingly used tool to support marine conservation and management, yet its effectiveness is influenced by its integration with coastal policy and governance landscapes. In the Philippines, the rapid expansion of coral restoration projects in recent decades highlighted significant governance challenges, from

Global warming and recurrent mass bleaching of corals [PDF]
During 2015–2016, record temperatures triggered a pan-tropical episode of coral bleaching, the third global-scale event since mass bleaching was first documented in the 1980s.

The role of substrate materials for the survival and growth of coral micro‐fragment sheets
Biofouling can have a negative impact on the survival and growth of corals in aquaculture. For coral aquaculture to support reef restoration, there needs to be a cost‐effective and efficient method that reduces the reliance on labor for coral maintenance.
