from The Huffington Post, there are over 2,500 species of coral alone, and they could all be threatened by the year 2050. Humans uphold the biggest influence on the diminishing reefs through overfishing, constr
However, these climate change-driven declines are outweighed by the impact of deforestation. Consequently, our analyses suggest that regional land-use management is more important than mediating climate change for influencing sedimentation of Malagasy coral reefs....

“In August 2023, a wildfire devastated the coastal town of Lahaina on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Within days, the University of Hawaii at Manoa began setting up a response group to focus on the fire’s impacts on water quality and contaminants. I led the work related to coastal water ...
Coral reef, climate change, sea temperature, coral bleachingpIn this paper, we review coral reef responses to climate variability and discuss the possible mechanisms by which climate impacts the coral reef ecosystem. Effects of oceanographic variables such as sea temperature, turbulence, salinity, and...
Restoring Coral Reefs A third of a mile off the west coast of Hawaii in Makaiwa Bay, bright white-violet pops of color almost glow from the seafloor some 30 feet below the surface in comfortably warm water. Although pleasant and beautiful to humans, neither the ocean temperature in October ...
This non-profit foundation was created in order to help stop and eventually reverse the effect that humans have played on the slow but steady decline of the worlds coral reefs. While there is science that has proved humans have been posing a very negative impact on the environment, the ...

determine the effects of key anthropogenic (protection status [open or closed to fishing]), habitat (mean reef complexity score [0–5]), and ecological (mean shark MaxN) factors on the reef-level occurrence (mean MaxN) of morays on reefs throughout the greater Caribbean (n = 67 reefs)....
Over dinner on R.V. Calypso while anchored on the lee side of Glover’s Reef in Belize, Jacques Cousteau told Phil Dustan that he suspected humans were having a negative impact on coral reefs. Dustan—a young ocean ecologist who had worked in the lush coral reefs of the Caribbean and ...
