REEFS

Coral reefs are one of the most iconic ecosystems on the planet, yet are under severe stress from a variety of threats. Billions of people depend on these reefs worldwide for their food, livelihoods, and culture and in turn societies shape reef environments. It is therefore imperative that we better understand reef processes and equitable governance of coral reefs to ensure the long term future of reef dependent societies and ecosystems. Our group unites disciplines across the natural and social sciences to deliver new insights and potential solutions for this rapidly changing socio-ecological system.
