Funded Activity Summary

Reef health tipping-points: triage for threatened/collapsed reef ecosystems. The accelerating collapse of reef ecosystems represents one of the greatest threats for marine biodiversity and seafood production worldwide. To confront this emergency, this Fellowship will determine reef health tipping-points and provide a new 'reef ecosystem triage’ approach to prioritise the order of preventative treatments to safeguard threatened reefs, while directing remediation efforts to collapsed reefs where recovery is most probable. The research will directly benefit reef-dependent industries and coastal communities by providing an objective evidence-based reef health system to protect against collapse and to identify our greatest opportunities to recover vast biodiversity and economic potential for reef ecosystems.
