Toward a New Era of Coral Reef Monitoring [PDF]

Environmental Science & Technology, 2023
Coral reefs host some of the highest concentrations of biodiversity and economic value in the oceans, yet these ecosystems are under threat due to climate change and other human impacts. Reef monitoring is routinely used to help prioritize reefs for conservation and evaluate the success of intervention efforts.

Coral Reef Monitoring, Reef Assessment Technologies, and Ecosystem-Based Management [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Coral reefs are exceptionally biodiverse and human dependence on their ecosystem services is high. Reefs experience significant direct and indirect anthropogenic pressures, and provide a sensitive indicator of coastal ocean health, climate change, and ...

Puerto Rico Coral Reef Monitoring Program Water Quality Data from 2023–2025 [PDF]

Scientific Data
Coral reefs are declining due to a combination of global and local anthropogenic stressors. While water quality is an important driver of coral reef condition, the lack of systematic water quality monitoring efforts has prevented a more thorough analysis

The influence of resilience-based management on coral reef monitoring: A systematic review. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2017
With rapid changes taking place on coral reefs, managers and scientists are faced with prioritising interventions that might avoid undesirable losses in ecosystem health. The property of resilience captures how reefs react and respond to stressors and environmental changes.
