Expanding marine protected areas to include degraded coral reefs

Conservation Biology, 2016
AbstractMarine protected areas (MPAs) are a commonly applied solution to coral reef degradation, yet coral reefs continue to decline worldwide. We argue that expanding the range of MPAs to include degraded reefs (DR‐MPA) could help reverse this trend. This approach requires new ecological criteria for MPA design, siting, and management.

Intravascular Lithotripsy for Coral Reef Aorta and Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia: Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) secondary to extensive paravisceral atherosclerosis is a rare but challenging vascular condition, often presenting with postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, and claudication due to impaired blood flow. While surgical bypass is a standard treatment, it carries significant risks, particularly in patients ...

True Size Matters for Conservation: A Robust Method to Determine the Size of Deep-Sea Coral Reefs Shows They Are Typically Small on Seamounts in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems (VME) is a critical goal for marine conservation. Yet, in many deep-sea settings, where quantitative data are typically sparse, it is challenging to correctly identify the location and size of VMEs.

Bahaman patch reefs: Numerous and neglected

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phanerozoic patch reefs are extensively studied because they are abundant and are potential reservoirs for valuable fluids. In contrast, geologic studies of modern reefs have largely focused on platform margins, leaving patch reefs comparatively neglected. What conditions favour patch‐reef development?
