Water optical properties over or around coral reefs in the coastal region: implications for coral reef remote sensing
Coral reefs inhabit clear oceanic-type waters to turbid coastal regimes. For shallow coastal water environments, the coral reefs from remote sensing...

Increasing hypoxia on global coral reefs under ocean warming
Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to threaten marine ecosystems globally. However, current and future oxygen concentrations and the occurrence of...

Impact of petroleum hydrocarbon and heavy metal pollution on coral reefs and mangroves: a review
Pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and chromium is impairing marine ecosystems. Here, we review the...

Nature’s contributions to people dependent on Brazilian coral and rocky reefs
Healthy reef environments provide many benefits to humanity. At least 500 million people living in coastal communities around the world highly depend...

Evaluating the values and limitations for coral and oyster reefs in coastal disaster risk reduction: a literature review
Previous researchers have made efforts to link the limitations and values of coral and oyster reefs to coastal defence. However, given the context in...

Microeconomic adaptation to severe climate disturbances on Australian coral reefs
Coral reefs are increasingly affected by climate-induced disturbances that are magnified by increasing ocean temperatures. Loss of coral reefs...

Reef on the edge: resilience failure of marginal patch coral reefs in Eastern Arabian Sea under recurrent coral bleaching, coral diseases, and local stressors
Marked by strong El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects during 2014-2016, global coral reefs underwent mass bleaching. Here, we conducted a...

Impacts of bleaching on host sea anemones and associated anemonefish in Southeast Asian coral reefs
Thermally-induced bleaching events pose significant impacts on coral reefs but current understanding of the bleaching effects on host sea anemones...

Evidence on the ecological and physical effects of built structures in shallow, tropical coral reefs: a systematic map
BackgroundShallow, tropical coral reefs face compounding threats from climate change, habitat degradation due to coastal development and pollution,...

Thermal bleaching in the northern South China Sea: impact of abnormal environment and climate on high-latitude coral reefs
Extensive coral bleaching events can result in catastrophic degradation of coral reefs and reorganization of coral communities. In the present study,...

Tropical coral reefs in Sri Lanka are threatened due to the fluctuation of seasonal and interannual sea surface temperature
The thermal stress of oceans causes coral bleaching, which induces loss of life in coral reefs and makes them exposed to other threats which directly...

Prediction of Water Setup and Wave Crest Heights on Submerged Coral Reefs with Steep Slopes
Submerged coral reefs develop unique topographic profiles over time. Moving landward from the offshore, they are recognized by a very steep slope...

Impact of Plastic Waste on the Coral Reefs: An Overview
Plastic is highly used polymer, with 330 million metric tons annual global production. The extensive use of plastic from kitchen to industry level...

Modern coral range expansion off southeast Florida falls short of Late Holocene baseline
As thermal stress and disease outbreaks decimate coral reefs throughout the tropics, there is growing evidence that higher latitude marine...

Integrating equity-focused planning into coral bleaching management
Coral bleaching, associated with warm water temperatures of the oceans, represents the most significant threat to coral reef ecosystems and coastal...

A global analysis of coral reef conservation preferences
Coral reefs and many associated fish populations may cease to exist by the end of the century without additional long-term strategic conservation...

Map** the susceptibility of reefs to rubble accumulation across the Great Barrier Reef
Disturbance-induced rubble accumulations are described as “killing fields” on coral reefs as coral recruits suffer high post-settlement mortality,...
