Great commentary on the value and importance of coral reef restoration 🪸 After publishing our last article I have been asked many times why we should bother with restoration considering the GBR and Caribbean right now. Wish I've had all these brilliant arguments at the ready 🤓

Exciting findings from my last PhD chapter 🪸Our research shows fast-growing corals are key for carbonate production—essential for reef health and frequent bleaching events could disrupt this balance across depths within shallow #CoralReefs #ClimateChange doi.org/10.1007/s00338…

🪸🐟Our new paper is out in Conservation Letters this week. In it, we review and discuss in a broader context one of the most fundamental paradigms in reef management and conservation—the parrotfish paradigm: doi.org/10.1111/conl.1… with @ANAMLHZ

🎉 NEW PAPER 🤩 Short and sweet story of how seabird nutrients can increase calcification of several coral genera and thereby boost reef carbonate budgets 🐦↗️🪸 Always fun to work with @cbenkwitt nature.com/articles/s4159… ⛴ 🌏 Marine Science 🐠 🐟 ExeterMarine University of Exeter News
