There is a need to develop water quality thresholds for dredging near coral reefs that can
relate physical pressures to biological responses and define exposure conditions above …

Surgeonfishes have had a long evolutionary history that has been closely linked with coral
reef ecosystems. Today they are a key component of reef fish assemblages, playing a …

Dredging can have significant impacts on aquatic environments, but the direct effects on fish
have not been critically evaluated. Here, a meta‐analysis following a conservative approach …

As part of an investigation of the effects of water quality from dredging/natural resuspension
on reefs, the effects of suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs)(0, 30, 100 mg L− 1) and …

Sediments are found on all coral reefs around the globe. However, the amount of sediment
in different reservoirs, and the rates at which sediments move between reservoirs, can …

Understanding pressure pathways and their cumulative impacts is critical for developing
effective environmental policy. For coral reefs, wide spread bleaching resulting from global …

Turbid coral reefs experience high suspended sediment loads and low-light conditions that
vertically compress the maximum depth of reef growth. Although vertical reef compression is …

The sediment rejection ability of 8 coral species of 5 families and 3 morphologies were
assessed in a series of short term exposure tests over a sedimentation range of 0.5–40 mg …

Dredging increases suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs), causing elevated water
turbidity (cloudiness) and light attenuation. Close to dredging, low light periods can extend …

Dredging in the marine environment to create and maintain safe, navigable shipping
channels, and subsequent disposal of the material at sea in dredge material placement sites …
