Beyond the reef: The widespread use of non‐reef habitats by coral reef fishes
Marine ecology seeks to understand the factors that shape biological communities. Progress
towards this goal has been hampered by habitat‐centric approaches that ignore the …

Economic assessment of ecosystem services: Monetary value of seagrass meadows for coastal fisheries
F Tuya, R Haroun, F Espino - Ocean & Coastal Management, 2014 - Elsevier
Estimation of the economic value of ecosystem services is particularly incipient in the marine
realm, where numerous services still need to be evaluated. Seagrasses deliver essential …
