[HTML][HTML] The fundamental links between climate change and marine plastic pollution
Plastic pollution and climate change have commonly been treated as two separate issues
and sometimes are even seen as competing. Here we present an alternative view that these …

Climate change, coral loss, and the curious case of the parrotfish paradigm: why don't marine protected areas improve reef resilience?
Scientists have advocated for local interventions, such as creating marine protected areas
and implementing fishery restrictions, as ways to mitigate local stressors to limit the effects of …

Seabirds enhance coral reef productivity and functioning in the absence of invasive rats
Biotic connectivity between ecosystems can provide major transport of organic matter and
nutrients, influencing ecosystem structure and productivity, yet the implications are poorly …

Loss of coral reef growth capacity to track future increases in sea level
Sea-level rise (SLR) is predicted to elevate water depths above coral reefs and to increase
coastal wave exposure as ecological degradation limits vertical reef growth, but projections …

Climate resilience in marine protected areas and the 'Protection Paradox'
Restricting human activities through Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is assumed to create
more resilient biological communities with a greater capacity to resist and recover following …

[HTML][HTML] Mesophotic coral bleaching associated with changes in thermocline depth
As global temperatures continue to rise, shallow coral reef bleaching has become more
intense and widespread. Mesophotic coral ecosystems reside in deeper (30–150 m), cooler …

Seabirds boost coral reef resilience
Global climate change threatens tropical coral reefs, yet local management can influence
resilience. While increasing anthropogenic nutrients reduce coral resistance and recovery, it …

Biodiversity increases ecosystem functions despite multiple stressors on coral reefs
Positive relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) highlight the
importance of conserving biodiversity to maintain key ecosystem functions and associated …

A review of a decade of lessons from one of the world's largest MPAs: conservation gains and key challenges
Given the recent trend towards establishing very large marine protected areas (MPAs) and
the high potential of these to contribute to global conservation targets, we review outcomes …
