Organic Matter Degradation Drives Benthic Cyanobacterial Mat Abundance on Caribbean Coral Reefs

PLOS ONE, 2015
Benthic cyanobacterial mats (BCMs) are impacting coral reefs worldwide. However, the factors and mechanisms driving their proliferation are unclear. We conducted a multi-year survey around the Caribbean island of Curaçao, which revealed highest BCM abundance on sheltered reefs close to urbanised areas.

Organic carbon flux in Shiraho coral reef (Ishigaki Island, Japan) [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2002
Organic carbon flux and community production rates were estimated on Shiraho coral reef (Ishigaki Island, Japan) from 19 to 26 September 1998. The daily net community production (P n ) and respiration rate (R) during the study period were 3 to 79 and 596 mmolC m -2 d -1 , respectively.

Does trophic level drive organic and metallic contamination in coral reef organisms?

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
Metallic and organic pollutants constitute a serious threat for coral reef ecosystems, potentially affecting a great number of species interacting within complex trophodynamic processes. Pesticides, PCBs and trace elements were measured on coral reef communities of three Pacific islands (Moorea, Wallis and New Caledonia) in relation with δ15N values, a

Participatory approaches to improving recreational fisheries management in a remote island system

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Marine recreational fisheries management is often impacted by data deficiencies and conflicting stakeholder views. Using participatory approaches can help to increase fisher engagement and identify trade‐offs to boost future management. Social science tools, including scenario‐based approaches, were used to explore recreational fisheries on a remote ...
