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 …

Fossil corals provide valuable data for reconstructing past sea levels, as they are often well
preserved in the fossil record and can be dated with U-series methods. Here we present a …

Abstract Benzophenone-3 (BP-3; oxybenzone) is an ingredient in sunscreen lotions and
personal-care products that protects against the damaging effects of ultraviolet light …

The stony-coral-tissue-loss disease (SCTLD) has recently caused widespread loss of coral
along the Florida reef tract. Yet little is known about where, when, and why this coral disease …

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination facilities produce freshwater and, at the
same time, discharge hypersaline brine that often includes various chemical additives such …

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a global and well-studied geological process by
which groundwater of varying salinities enters coastal waters. SGD is known to transport …

Dredging poses a potential threat to coral reefs, yet quantifying impacts is often difficult due
to the large spatial footprint of potential effects and co-occurrence of other disturbances …

Abstract Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) is recognized as a fundamental
hydrological process that supports many coastal biogeochemical cycles and social …

Anthropogenic inputs, including organic carbon and nutrient loading, are increasingly
changing the water quality on coral reefs. Herein we show that treating Montastraea …

Small changes in environmental parameters (eg a two degree change in temperature) can
cause significant (up to 50%) changes in growth rates (Meesters et al. 1998; Kaandorp …
