Understanding Coral Reef Resilience Reef Resilience The coral reef resilience online course is designed to provide marine managers and practitioners with the necessary background to support coral reef resilience in the face of climate change. the course consists of six lessons that explore the ecology of coral reef ecosystems, threats to reefs, principles and attributes of social ecological reef. This guide presents a 10 step process for completing a resilience assessment, putting into managers' hands the means to assess, map and monitor coral reef resilience, and the means to identify and prioritize actions that support resilience in the face of climate change. the guidance presented here represents the culmination of over a decade of.

What Is Resilience Reef Resilience The noaa coral reef conservation program is actively working with its partners to address the impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems. the program promotes resilience based management as the best strategy to achieve management goals in a changing climate. Resilience based management is defined as using knowledge of current and future drivers influencing ecosystem function (e.g., coral disease outbreaks; changes in land use, trade, or fishing practices) to prioritize, implement, and adapt management actions that sustain ecosystems and human well being. Context coral reef resilience is the product of multiple interacting processes that occur across various interacting scales. this complexity presents challenges for identifying solutions to the ongoing worldwide decline of coral reef ecosystems that are threatened by both local and global human stressors. objectives we highlight how coral reef resilience is studied at spatial, temporal, and. Coral and algae cover are considered essential ocean variables, and widely monitored and used in global status reporting of coral reefs, while herbivory is considered a critical reef resilience process (miloslavich et al., 2018; muller karger et al., 2018; obura et al., 2019; steneck et al., 2019). however, the majority of assessments were.
