Environmental scientist. Postdoc-ing at the Atwood Lab, FSU. I like corals, biomineralization and paleoclimate. Likely to be found firing lasers in the lab. https://anasamperiz.github.io/
Thank you Jens :) Yes, I am enjoying it a lot!

🗺️ Integrated reef management *can* help reduce local stressors, but it’s not one-size-fits-all.
Reefs are complex, dynamic ecosystems.
Effective management must be site-specific, guided by robust, multi-source datasets.
📊🛰️🔍Better (and more) data = better decisions.

⚠️ Here’s the kicker:
Corals in the more turbid reefs are already stressed, now add heat, and the effects stack up.🤒
Both thermal stress and seawater turbidity increase the vulnerability of nearshore reefs, but they affect coral growth in different ways.

🔥 Then came the heat.
During 2014-2016, thermal stress caused a 14–30% decline in coral growth across all study sites, regardless of water quality. 🌡️🐚
Coral resilience to thermal stress is not just linked to local water quality.

😶🌫️🌊 The murkier the water, the slower the coral grows.
We found a negative relationship between average coral growth and seawater turbidity.
Linear extension was reduced by nearly half in the more turbid locations. 📉🪸
Local water quality matters.
