CP24E:
Regional to Global Monitoring of Coral Reef Ecosystems Posters

Session ID#: 85274

Session Description:
Coral reefs and associated coastal ecosystems are among the most vulnerable and productive in the world. Coral reefs are under immediate threat from climate change, coastal development, pollution, and overfishing. Although the overall extent of reefs is relatively consistent, the accuracy of our global scale knowledge of shallow reef extent remains in question, and the extent of deeper reefs is even less understood.  Additionally, reef composition, including live coral, dead/bleaching coral, and macroalgal cover, is changing fast and will continue to change.  However, changes in the relative cover of reef compositional components are poorly understood. Emerging satellite, airborne and field-based techniques are providing new approaches to reevaluate reef extent and to track changes in reef composition at ecosystem to global scales. This session organizes and integrates ongoing research from on coral reef cover and change, with particular focus on high spatial and temporal resolution methods and findings.
