Rapidly increasing macroalgal cover not related to herbivorous fishes on Mesoamerican reefs [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Long-term phase shifts from coral to macroalgal dominated reef systems are well documented in the Caribbean. Although the impact of coral diseases, climate change and other factors is acknowledged, major herbivore loss through disease and overfishing is ...

The World Coral Conservatory (WCC): A Noah's ark for corals to support survival of reef ecosystems.

PLoS Biology, 2020
Global change causes widespread decline of coral reefs. In order to counter the anticipated disappearance of coral reefs by the end of this century, many initiatives are emerging, including creation of marine protected areas (MPAs), reef restoration ...

Restoration and coral adaptation delay, but do not prevent, climate-driven reef framework erosion of an inshore site in the Florida Keys

Scientific Reports, 2023
For reef framework to persist, calcium carbonate production by corals and other calcifiers needs to outpace loss due to physical, chemical, and biological erosion.

Coral Reef Geometry and Hydrodynamics in Beach Erosion Control in North Quintana Roo, Mexico

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs are increasingly recognized for their shoreline protection services. The hydrodynamic performance of this ecosystem is comparable to artificial low-crested structures often used in coastal protection, whose objective is to emulate the former.
