Challenges in Current Coral Reef Protection – Possible Impacts of UV Filters Used in Sunscreens, a Critical Review

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs are highly endangered ecosystems. The identification and quantification of potential stress factors are essential to protect them. UV filters from sunscreens that are introduced to coral reef areas are considered as one of these stressors and

Coral Reef Restorations Can Be Optimized to Reduce Coastal Flooding Hazards

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs are effective natural coastal flood barriers that protect adjacent communities. Coral degradation compromises the coastal protection value of reefs while also reducing their other ecosystem services, making them a target for restoration. Here

Coral restoration for coastal resilience: Integrating ecology, hydrodynamics, and engineering at multiple scales

Ecosphere, 2023
The loss of functional and accreting coral reefs reduces coastal protection and resilience for tropical coastlines. Coral restoration has potential for recovering healthy reefs that can mitigate risks from coastal hazards and increase sustainability ...

Non‐reef habitats in a tropical seascape affect density and biomass of fishes on coral reefs

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Nonreef habitats such as mangroves, seagrass, and macroalgal beds are important for foraging, spawning, and as nursery habitat for some coral reef fishes.
