Assessment of Commercially Important and Herbivorous Fish Species Ten Years After the Akumal Fishery Refuge Zone Decree

Fishing Refuge Zones (FRZs) are intended to promote the recovery of exploited populations, but their ecological outcomes can be difficult to interpret on reefs where fisheries protection coincides with persistent habitat degradation, multiple local pressures, and limited implemen...

Full-spur mapping: refining coral reef carbonate production estimates using underwater photogrammetry

Abstract Traditional methods for estimating calcium carbonate production on coral reefs rely on in-water line transects that sample only a fraction of the reefscape, inherently introducing spatial biases and under-representing the heterogeneity of coral assemblages. Here, we diag...
