We tested the effects of coral reef degradation on the feeding plasticity of four reef fish species. We used isotopic niche sizes and mean δ15N and δ13C values of each species in two coral reefs that differed in benthic condition. The species chosen have contrasting feeding strategies; ...
Coral diseases have played a major role in the degradation of coral reefs in the Caribbean, including those in the US Virgin Islands (USVI). In 2005, bleaching affected reefs throughout the Caribbean, and was especially severe on USVI reefs. Some corals began to regain their color as water ...

The degradation of coral reef ecosystem can alter the topographic complexity and biotic composition, thereby affecting the coral reef fish community significantly. Coral reefs in the South China Sea have undergone rapid degradation in rece

which might potentially enable us to mitigate its effects.And there's another technique that's been experimented with to try to help coral reefs recover from bleaching.It's called coral transplantation.This involves moving young coral from a healthy reef onto a degraded reef, you know, in an ...

Shifting the paradigm: identifying the goals of monitoring and assessment for coral reefs and a methodology to meet those goals If we are to ever halt coral-reef degradation and reverse the losses that have been set in motion, we must recognize “that existing institutions have ceased adequately...
restauration; coral farm; Acropora cervicornis; sea temperature; light levels1. Introduction The degradation of Caribbean coral reefs has reached unprecedented rates. It is estimated that nearly 80% of the Caribbean reefs have been lost, while the remaining 20% are seriously threatened [1,2,3]....
