Submerged Geosynthetic Reef as Shore Protection Measure for Islands
The Sagar Island, located north of the Bay of Bengal, intercepts the flow in the Hoogly estuary that comprises a network of several estuarine...

Predicting Coral Reef Carbonate Chemistry Through Statistical Modeling: Constraining Nearshore Residence Time Around Guam
To accurately predict the impacts of ocean acidification on shallow-water ecosystems, we must account for the biogeochemical impact of local benthic...

A social-ecological engagement with reef passages in New Caledonia: Connectors between coastal and oceanic spaces and species
Healthy and protected coral reefs help island systems in the tropics thrive and survive. Reef passages link the open ocean to lagoon and coastal...

Styles and rates of mesophotic reef accretion on a Caribbean insular slope
Structural framework is fundamental to the concept of a coral-algal reef. However, our current understanding of reef framework is based largely upon...

Upwelling, climate change, and the shifting geography of coral reef development
The eastern tropical Pacific is oceanographically unfavorable for coral-reef development. Nevertheless, reefs have persisted there for the last...

Microbial community shift on artificial biological reef structures (ABRs) deployed in the South China Sea
Many Artificial Reefs (ARs) have been used worldwide for marine habitat and coral reef restoration. However, the microbial community structure that...

Mesophotic reefs are not refugia for neither taxonomic nor functional diversity of reef fishes
Mesophotic reefs, defined as reefs between 30 m and 150 m, have been less investigated than their shallower counterparts. Yet, more protected from...

Clonal distribution and spatial genetic structure of the reef-building coral Galaxea fascicularis
Genotypic distributions affect the persistence of coral populations, and map** these distributions is important for population management. Many...

Metals Concentration in Coral Reef Fishes of Bidong Island During the 2017 to 2019 Marine Biology Fieldwork Course
The concentration of zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) in gill, liver and muscle tissues of coral reef fishes from Bidong Island was presented...

Automatic Alignment of Multi-scale Aerial and Underwater Photogrammetric Point Clouds: A Case Study in the Maldivian Coral Reef
The research question that the paper investigates is whether the usage of state of the art algorithms for point clouds registration solves the...

Benthic assemblages are more predictable than fish assemblages at an island scale
Decades of research have revealed relationships between the abundance of coral reef taxa and local conditions, especially at small scales. However, a...

Study of the Mechanical Properties of Coral Reef Sand Mixes Using Large-Scale Triaxial Shear Tests
In order to reveal the macro-mechanical characteristics of coral reef sand mixes, triaxial tests were conducted on graded coral reef sand mix...

Fish and benthic communities in an offshore and well-managed coral reef after bleaching disturbance in the Philippines
Climate change is perhaps the greatest threat to coral reefs worldwide. However, there is spatial variation in the extent and severity of this...

Gelatinous versus non-gelatinous zooplankton: their value as food for planktivorous coral reef fishes
Coral reefs are highly productive ecosystems, in part due to the productivity of planktivorous fishes. The planktivorous fish community contains two...

Integrative omics framework for characterization of coral reef ecosystems from the Tara Pacific expedition
Coral reef science is a fast-growing field propelled by the need to better understand coral health and resilience to devise strategies to slow reef...

Short-Term Spatiotemporal Variability in Seawater Carbonate Chemistry at Two Contrasting Reef Locations in Bocas del Toro, Panama
There is growing concern about the effects of ocean acidification (OA) on coral reefs, with many studies indicating decreasing calcium carbonate...
-
Assessment of the utility of underwater hyperspectral imaging for surveying and monitoring coral reef ecosystems
Technological innovations that improve the speed, scale, reproducibility, and accuracy of monitoring surveys will allow for a better understanding of...
-
Fine-scale heterogeneity reveals disproportionate thermal stress and coral mortality in thermally variable reef habitats during a marine heatwave
Increasing ocean temperatures threaten coral reefs globally, but corals residing in habitats that experience high thermal variability are thought to...
-
Tropical seamounts as step**-stones for coral reef fishes: range extensions and new regional distributions from mesophotic ecosystems in the Coral Sea, Australia
Seamounts and remote oceanic islands serve as valuable natural laboratories in which to study patterns and processes in marine biodiversity. A...

Deoxygenation following coral spawning and low-level thermal stress trigger mass coral mortality at Coral Bay, Ningaloo Reef
Oxygen depletion is well recognized for its role in the degradation of tropical coral reefs. Extreme acute hypoxic events that lead to localized mass...
