A review of published literature on the sensitivity of corals to turbidity and sedimentation is
presented, with an emphasis on the effects of dredging. The risks and severity of impact from …

Coral reef ecosystems thrive in tropical oligotrophic oceans because of the relationship
between corals and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae called Symbiodinium …

There is a need to develop water quality thresholds for dredging near coral reefs that can
relate physical pressures to biological responses and define exposure conditions above …

Dredging, river plumes and natural resuspension events can release sediments into the
water column where they exert a range of effects on underlying communities. In this review …

One of the major features of the coastal zone is that part of its sea floor receives a significant
amount of sunlight and can therefore sustain benthic primary production by seagrasses …

We developed an approach to map turbidity in estuaries using a time series (May 2003 to
April 2006) of 250-m resolution images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging …

The most severe outcome of coral bleaching is colony mortality. However, the risk of
mortality is one of the least understood consequences for reef corals under climate‐change …

Coral reefs have recently experienced an unprecedented decline as the world's oceans
continue to warm. Yet global climate models reveal a heterogeneously warming ocean …

As part of an investigation of the effects of water quality from dredging/natural resuspension
on reefs, the effects of suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs)(0, 30, 100 mg L− 1) and …

Climate change is a major threat to coral reef ecosystems worldwide. A key determinant of
the fate of reef corals in a warming climate is their capacity to tolerate increasing thermal …
