Improved Characterization of Coral Bleaching Patterns From a Percentile‐Based Threshold Model
Abstract Tropical corals are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic global warming and marine heatwaves. However, questions remain about how to best characterize potential heat stress relevant to coral bleaching. The degree heating week (DHW) metric has guided bleaching risk assessments for ∼25 years.

Sediment composition influences microplastic trapping in seagrass meadows
Seagrass meadows are highly-valued coastal ecosystems that have the potential to act as sinks for microplastic pollution through their particle-trapping capabilities. Using wave tank simulations, this study tested how microplastic capture can be affected by particle size, sediment composition, and the presence of seagrass (cores collected from two ...

Abstract Laboratory experiments investigated how the presence of biofilm and particle size influenced deposition in both bare and vegetated channels. Both abiotic and biotic sediment beds were considered, with the biotic beds containing Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS). As current magnitude and turbulent kinetic energy increased, particles were

Scarring of Florida’s seagrasses: assessment and management options [PDF]
Management programs that address scarring of seagrasses should be based on an approach that involves (1) education, (2) channel marking, (3) increased enforcement, and (4) limited-motoring zones. Aerial monitoring and photography of the managed area
