Skeleton-Forming Responses of Reef-Building Corals under Ocean Acidification [PDF]

Research
Ocean acidification is becoming more prevalent and may contribute to coral reef degradation, yet our understanding of its role in global reef decline remains limited.

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 bleaching monitoring based on multitime Landsat-8 remote sensing image series

地质科技通报, 2022
In recent years, due to the influence of human activities and global warming, the coral reef ecosystem in the South China Sea (SCS) has degraded, and bleaching occurs.

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

Potential contribution of fish restocking to the recovery of deteriorated coral reefs: an alternative restoration method? [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Counteracting the worldwide trend of coral reef degeneration is a major challenge for the scientific community. A crucial management approach to minimizing stress effects on healthy reefs and helping the recovery of disturbed reefs is reef protection ...

Call to protect all coral reefs [PDF]

Nature Climate Change, 2013
The world's coral reefs are in decline, threatening the food security of millions of people. Adopting an ecosystem-scale approach that protects deep as well as shallow reefs would deliver several social and economic benefits.

Untapped policy avenues to protect coral reef ecosystems

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2022
Coral reefs are experiencing severe decline, and urgent action is required at local and global scales to curb ecosystem loss. Establishing new regulations to protect corals, however, can be time consuming and costly, and it is therefore necessary to leverage existing legal instruments, such as policies originally designed to address terrestrial rather ...

The global flood protection savings provided by coral reefs [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2018
AbstractCoral reefs can provide significant coastal protection benefits to people and property. Here we show that the annual expected damages from flooding would double, and costs from frequent storms would triple without reefs. For 100-year storm events, flood damages would increase by 91% to $US 272 billion without reefs.

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 ...
