Consistent nutrient storage and supply mediated by diverse fish communities in coral reef ecosystems
"Corals thrive in low nutrient environments and the conservation of these globally imperiled ecosystems is largely dependent on mitigating the effects of anthropogenic nutrient enrichment. However, to better understand the implications of anthropogenic nu...
Nutrient supply from fishes facilitates macroalgae and suppresses corals in a Caribbean coral reef ecosystem
"On coral reefs, fishes can facilitate coral growth via nutrient excretion; however, as coral abundance declines, these nutrients may help facilitate increases in macroalgae. By combining surveys of reef communities with bioenergetics modeling, we showed ...
Resistance and resilience to coral bleaching: Implications for coral reef conservation and management
"The massive scale of the 19971998 El Nino-associated coral bleaching event underscores the need for strategies to mitigate biodiversity losses resulting from temperature-induced coral mortality. As baseline sea surface temperatures continue to rise, clim...
"NOAA, working through the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), undertook a two-year project (2012 to 2014) to support climate change adaptation in the Pacific Small Island Developing States. The project invo...
"This field guide was adapted from the 2009 CNMI Erosion and Sediment Control Field Guide, CNMI DEQ and was prepared for the Guam Coastal Management Program (GCMP) and the Guam Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA). It was designed specifically for contr...
"NOAA, working through the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), undertook a two-year, $2.0 million program from 2012-2014 to support climate change adaptation in the Pacific Small Island Developing States by condu...
