Effective protection of fish on inshore coral reefs depends on the scale of mangrove-reef connectivity [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2015 Connectivity is an important consideration in conservation, but is rarely quantified when assessing marine reserve performance. Mangrove-reef connectivity is known to enhance reserve effectiveness when habitats are close together (< 250 m apart). Coral reefs are, however, often farther from mangroves, making it difficult to integrate mangrove-reef ...
