CRTR Connectivity Handbook
Preserving Reef Connectivity: A Handbook for Marine Protected Area Managers aims to help managers of coastal areas, in particular those of coastal marine protected areas (MPAs), understand and apply the concept of connectivity in their work. Connectivity issues relate to the movement in marine environments of water – and with it sediments, nutrients and pollutants – and of marine organisms. This makes it an important element to consider when contemplating the effective design of MPAs and MPA networks and most other aspects of coastal management.

Climate Change: It’s now or never to save coral reefs (2008)
Coral reefs are increasingly coming under pressure from human activities, arising from over-exploitation, destructive fishing, pollution, eutrophication and the extensive modification of coastlines adjacent to coral reefs. Recent evidence suggests that climate change, by increasing sea temperatures and ocean acidity, may interact with and worsen the plight of coral reefs.
