Coral Reef Protection May Help Avert Risks to People, Property, and Economic Activity Caused by Projected Reef Degradation

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Degradation of coral reefs over the past several decades has caused regional‐scale erosion of the shallow seafloor that serves as a protective barrier against coastal hazards along southeast Florida, USA. How future change in coral reefs may affect coastal flooding, however, has been less attended than other factors contributing to increasing ...

Abundance, patterns, and taxa associations of anthropogenic marine debris on reefs in the middle Florida Keys

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Florida Keys reef tract has rapidly shifted from a structurally complex, hard coral-dominated reef to a less rugose, soft coral-dominated reef. This transition has been facilitated by persistent anthropogenic stressors including recreational and ...

Monitoring Corals from Rescue to Care with ArcGIS and Flickr

Media + Environment, 2021
This article intervenes in disaster media research by investigating the complex system of mediation that is required to mitigate coral disease and to monitor coral rescue and care. Stony coral tissue loss disease, discovered in 2014, has rapidly infected

Scleractinian Coral Recruitment to Reefs Physically Damaged by Ship Groundings [PDF]

, 2008
The southeast Florida reef system faces a number of stress factors, among which ship groundings are one of the most physically damaging. Portions of the Florida reef tract located near Port Everglades, Broward County, Florida, USA have been damaged by ...

Dominant role of benthic photosynthesis for the metabolism of carbonate sands in a subtropical inner shelf

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 12, Page 3621-3633, December 2025.
Abstract Carbonate coral sands are an integral part of the carbon and nutrient cycles in subtropical and tropical coastal environments. Recent studies indicate that nearshore carbonate sands may be hotspots for organic matter production and respiration, but the processes and their controls are poorly understood due to a lack of noninvasive in situ ...

Fish Spawning Aggregations in the Southeast Florida Coral Reef Ecosystem Conservation Area: A Case Study Synthesis of User Reports, Literature, and Field Validation Efforts

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The formation of fish spawning aggregations (FSAs) is an essential part of the life history of many economically important fish species; however, their status are often poorly described in the literature either due to their occurrence in remote locations,

Connectivity between coastal habitats of two oceanic Caribbean islands as inferred from ontogenetic shifts by coral reef fishes [PDF]

, 2003
Mangroves and seagrass beds are considered important nursery habitats for juveniles of coral reef fishes. Studies have mostly focused on the fish community of just one habitat, so the connectivity between different coastal habitats is often unclear.

Bahaman patch reefs: Numerous and neglected

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1311-1328, November 2025.
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?
