Biological Assessment of Coral Reefs in Southern Puerto Rico: A Technical Approach for Coral Reef Protection Under the U.S. Clean Water Act. [PDF]
Coast Manage, 2019 States and other jurisdictions may protect coral reefs using biological water quality standards outlined by the United States Clean Water Act (CWA). Such protection will require long-term, regional monitoring of the resource using biological indicators ...

Ocean & Coastal Management, 1995 Past economic valuations of tropical marine parks inaccurately measure their economic benefits because they value the resource protected and not the protection provided. Instead, the economic benefit of a marine park should be measured as the savings from avoided losses in reef value that would result in the absence of park protection, net of any costs

Hidden benefits and risks of partial protection for coral reef fisheries
Ecology and Society, 2022 Partially protected areas are now the dominant global form of spatial management aimed at preserving ecosystem integrity and managing human use. However, most evaluations of their efficacy use only a narrow set of conservation indicators that reflect a ...

Coral reef structural complexity provides important coastal protection from waves under rising sea levels [PDF]
Science Advances, 2018 If coral reefs continue to degrade, waves on coastlines may substantially increase, leading to greater coastal erosion. Coral reefs are diverse ecosystems that support millions of people worldwide by providing coastal protection from waves.

Coral reef restoration can reduce coastal contamination and pollution hazards
Communications Earth & EnvironmentCoral reef restoration can reduce the wave-driven flooding for coastal communities. However, this protection has yet to be assessed in terms of the reduced risk of flood-driven environmental contamination.
