Juvenile Coral Abundance Across the U.S. Pacific Influenced by Depth, Heat Stress, Coral Cover, Suitable Substrate, and Human Density

Our results also suggest coral density is dependent on several factors, including and the number of humans in the system.

Coral Reefs Benefit From Reduced Land–Sea Impacts Under Ocean Warming

New research published in Nature demonstrates that integrating land and sea in coastal ocean management supports the continued persistence of coral reef ecosystems in our changing climate.

Ocean Currents Magnify Upwelling and Deliver Nutritional Subsidies to Reef-Building Corals During El Niño Heatwaves

Results reveal how large-scale ocean-climate interactions affect reef ecosystems thousands of kilometers away and provide a valuable framework for identifying reefs that may benefit from such biophysical linkages during future bleaching events.
