Low cost, simple approaches leading to enhanced numbers of viable, mature corals on reefs are prerequisite to active reef rehabilitation at even modest spatial scales. Mass culture of coral larvae to settlement, utilising ...

We investigated ecological, physiological, and skeletal characteristics of the calcifying green alga Halimeda grown at CO2 seeps (pH(total) similar to 7.8) and compared them to those at control reefs with ambient CO2 ...

Significant diurnal variation in seawater carbonate chemistry occurs naturally in many coral reef environments, yet little is known of its effect on coral calcification. Laboratory studies on the response of corals to ocean ...

Context. The conservation status of the whale shark, Rhincodon typus, remains uncertain. Throughout their range, whale sharks are a focus for wildlife tourism and many identification photographs taken by tourists have ...

Sponges play a vital role in the world's most complex and vulnerable marine ecosystems. Various in situ studies have suggested that sponge morphologies (developed from exposure to a range of biophysical factors) can be ...
