Baseline reef health surveys at Bangka Island (North Sulawesi, Indonesia) reveal new threats [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Worldwide coral reef decline appears to be accompanied by an increase in the spread of hard coral diseases. However, whether this is the result of increased direct and indirect human disturbances and/or an increase in natural stresses remains poorly ...
