Still hope for coral reefs. Using 28-years of data in Seychelles, we find reefs recovering 4-5 years faster from the 2016 bleaching event, than they did after 1998. Also, a reef that had regime-shifted to macroalgae for over 15 years, is recovering to coral.

Increased resilience and a regime shift reversal through repeat mass coral bleaching
Assessing coral reefs across the inner Seychelles islands, using a 28-year dataset, we document faster coral recovery from the 2016 than the 1998 marine heatwave events. Further, a reef that had regi....

π¨New paper alert! With an amazing group of collaborators, we explore potential indicators for assessing the impacts of island restoration on nearshore tropical marine ecosystems (plus it's my first senior author paper - a mini milestone!). Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Re-connecting ecosystems: Integrating coral reefs into monitoring of island restoration
Ecosystems are intrinsically linked, such that management actions in one ecosystem can influence adjacent ecosystems. However, adequate data, and evenβ¦
