💩🪸 Nutrients from seabird poop led to a doubling of coral growth rates and faster recovery after bleaching events, promoting overall resilience.

But islands with invasive rats, which kill birds, saw half the coral growth rate of islands with healthy seabird populations.

Released v3 of the volkeR package on CRAN 🚀 This version comes with cluster analysis and pca. Have fun!

Don't know volkeR yet? It's a simple way to teach R and a quick way to create labeled reports. Still experimental but already productive.

Many coral reef scientists are sceptical of restoration attempts. The primary reason is that coral restoration doesn’t actually work at a meaningful scale - and short-term, small-scale outcomes with a few species are inevitably reversed by the next heatwave.

My colleagues at NOAA fear for their jobs and are rushing to publish their data on climate change before Trump silences them.

NOAA collaborates with researchers around the world to understand coral bleaching, including on the Great Barrier Reef.

The logical conclusion is - we need to reduce “human pressure levels” to save the world’s coral reefs.

A reminder that when a centuries old coral or tree dies from anthropogenic climate change, it’s not going to be “restored”or replaced for many human generations.

It’s no accident that most restoration attempts focus only on 1 or 2 short-lived, fast-growing species.

Planting 2,500 coral fragments in Hawaii might sound like a lot, until you consider that a single hectare of healthy coral reef typically has a population of about 250,000 corals larger than your thumb.
