Highlights A recommended minimum harvest size of 80 mm was not adopted. Corallium rubrum resources above 50 m, instead of 80 m, are protected but enforcement is inadequate. Deep C. rubrum resources are being exploited without prior stock assessments. Inshore …
Highlights: A typology of Saudi Arabian Red Sea coral carbonate systems is developed. Using a GIS, sixteen system end-members are identified, mapped and tallied. Several types of carbonate system are present throughout the length of the Red Sea. Other carbonate …
The Galapagos Islands have been famous for a century and a half, but even Charles Darwin thought the archipelago’s list of living wonders didn’t include coral reefs. It took until the 1970s before scientists realized the islands did in fact …
