At the recent International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS), one of the studies presented is about a new model that would help map and monitor coral reef health across the South Pacific.
Using data collected from the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation s Global Reef Expedition, a team of researchers devised a new and innovative method that helps identify which natural and man-made factors could help coral and fish communities thrive. The new study, led by Anna Bakker, will help future efforts identify which coral reefs would adapt and survive in our changing world.

Scientists have developed a new way to model and
map the health of coral reef ecosystems using data collected
on the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation’s Global
Reef Expedition. This innovative method, presented today at
the International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS), can determine
which natural and anthropogenic factors are most likely to
lead to persistently vibrant coral and fish communities.
Their findings can help scientists identify the reefs most
likely to survive in a changing world.
The
new models are a first step in being able to produce maps of
global coral reef resilience.
To create these models,
