Reef ecosystem services in the Anthropocene

Our group is a collaboration node of the Reef Futures project, an international consortium of coral reef natural and social scientists funded by the Belmont Forum. This project is quantifying the ecosystem services that coral reefs provide to humanity and determining the conditions under which these services can be maintained under various global change scenarios. This work will inform coral reef conservation and management strategies to promote reef persistence and resilience in an era of increasing human disturbance.
