economic factors, this research shows that reefs with traditional systems of resources management are healthier, population pressure is not the main factor causing the demise of the reefs and agro-industry is the main industry causing the degradation of the reef in these four South Pacific Islands....
Degradation and loss of critical coastal habitats has significant ramifications for marine fisheries, such that knowledge of changes in habitat quality and quantity are fundamental to effective ecosystem management. This study explores changes in the structure of coral reef habitats, specifically changes ...

Blue light is a predominant component of light emitting devices (LEDs), which are increasingly present in our environment. There is already accumulating evidence that blue light exposure causes damage to retinal cells in vitro and in vivo; however, much less is known about potential effects of bl...
As ocean acidification disrupts marine food chains and habitats, it can lead to declines in fish stocks and the degradation of valuable ecosystems, ultimately impacting the economic and social well-being of these communities. Furthermore, the loss of coral reefs and other marine habitats due to ...
The speed and scale of these changes underpin the international recognition that urgent action must be taken to prevent and mitigate further degradation. In response, governments have adopted targets for habitat protection, biodiversity and emissions5. For instance, several nations have committed to ...
