Coral mortality increases wave energy reaching shores protected by reef flats: Examples from the Seychelles
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model of wave energy reaching shorelines protected by coral reef flats has been applied to 14 Seychelles reefs, which is derived from equations which predict: (1) the raised water level, or wave set-up, on reef flats resulting from wave breaking, which depends upon offshore wave height and period, depth of still water over the reef flat and the reef crest profile.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Chagos Archipelago was designated a no-take marine protected area (MPA) in 2010; it contains 25-50% of the Indian Ocean reef area remaining in excellent condition, as well as the world's largest contiguous undamaged reef area.
Journal ArticleDOI
One size does not fit all: The emerging frontier in large-scale marine conservation
Robert J. Toonen,T. ‘Aulani Wilhelm,Sara M. Maxwell,Daniel Wagner,Brian W. Bowen,Charles Sheppard,Sue Taei,Tukabu Teroroko,Russell Moffitt,Carlos F. Gaymer,Lance Morgan,Nai‘a Lewis,Anne Sheppard,John Parks,Alan M. Friedlander +14 more
TL;DR: Very large-scale MPAs are a critical component of reaching the Aichi targets of protecting 10% of global marine habitats by 2020, because in addition to encompassing entire ecosystems, they will bring forward the expected date of achievement by nearly three decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large marine protected areas – advantages and challenges of going big
T. ‘Aulani Wilhelm,Charles Sheppard,Anne Sheppard,Carlos F. Gaymer,John Parks,Daniel Wagner,Nai'a Lewis +6 more
TL;DR: The Aichi Biodiversity Targets were designed to promote and implement the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) by providing a framework for action to save biodiversity and enhance its benefits for people.
