Coral Reef Monitoring, Reef Assessment Technologies, and Ecosystem-Based Management [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Coral reefs are exceptionally biodiverse and human dependence on their ecosystem services is high. Reefs experience significant direct and indirect anthropogenic pressures, and provide a sensitive indicator of coastal ocean health, climate change, and ...

Toward a New Era of Coral Reef Monitoring [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2023 Coral reefs host some of the highest concentrations of biodiversity and economic value in the oceans, yet these ecosystems are under threat due to climate change and other human impacts. Reef monitoring is routinely used to help prioritize reefs for conservation and evaluate the success of intervention efforts.

Coral restoration alters reef soundscapes but machine learning and manual analyses suggest different recovery rates. [PDF]
PLoS ONECoral restoration is recognised as a critical tool to mitigate pantropical degradation of reef ecosystems. Robust monitoring of restoration progress is crucial for projects to evaluate their success, improve practice, and share knowledge.

Puerto Rico Coral Reef Monitoring Program Water Quality Data from 2023–2025 [PDF]
Scientific DataCoral reefs are declining due to a combination of global and local anthropogenic stressors. While water quality is an important driver of coral reef condition, the lack of systematic water quality monitoring efforts has prevented a more thorough analysis
