The Future Of Coral Reefs Local Actions Can Buy Time But Not Prevent Decimation Unless

Robert Richmond presenting. Coral reefs are biologically diverse marine ecosystems of high ecological, economic and cultural value. While these ecosystems have experienced a variety of natural disturbances over geologic time, mounting anthropogenic influences are responsible for extensive coral reef losses over the past several decades, and the potential for recovery is bleak. Over the past century, there have been numerous studies demonstrating a continued loss of coral cover from reefs previously in the 60% - 80% range to levels in the 20% - 30% range. The anthropogenic disturbances of greatest concern in these losses include land-based sources of pollution (runoff, sedimentation, and eutrophication), over-fishing, leading to phase shifts to fleshy algal domination, and mass bleaching events and ocean acidification tied to global climate change. Efforts at integrated watershed management can lead to increased coral recruitment rates following improvements in water and substratum quality. Likewise, protection of populations of herbivorous fishes and invertebrates can reduce the cover and associated sediment retention of invasive and indigenous fleshy algae. Such local measures are critical to the future of coral reefs however even successful programs will ultimately fail in protecting reefs if global climate change continues on its present trajectory. We suggest that aggressive efforts at controlling local stressors can buy several decades of time, and coupled with similarly aggressive efforts at controlling carbon emissions, can insure a legacy of viable reefs for future generations. Without both such efforts, our legacy will be reefs of low cover, low species and genetic diversity, and reduced value.
