Journal ArticleDOI

Callum M. Roberts,Callum M. Roberts,Colin J. McClean,J. E. N. Veron,Julie P. Hawkins,Gerald R. Allen,Gerald R. Allen,Don E. McAllister,Cristina G. Mittermeier,Frederick W. Schueler,Mark Spalding,Fred E. Wells,Carly Vynne,Timothy B. Werner +13 more
TL;DR: Coral reefs are the most biologically diverse of shallow water marine ecosystems but are being degraded worldwide by human activities and climate warming, and conservation efforts targeted toward them could help avert the loss of tropical reef biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-third of reef-building corals face elevated extinction risk from climate change and local impacts

TL;DR: The Caribbean has the largest proportion of corals in high extinction risk categories, whereas the Coral Triangle has the highest proportion of species in all categories of elevated extinction risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delineating the Coral Triangle
J. E. N. Veron,Lyndon DeVantier,Emre Turak,Alison Green,Stuart Kininmonth,Mary Stafford-Smith,Nate Peterson +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows that the Coral Triangle, an area extending from the Philippines to the Solomon Islands, has 605 zooxanthellate corals including 15 re- gional endemics, which amounts to 76% of the world's total species complement, giving this province theWorld's highest conservation priority.
Journal ArticleDOI
The coral reef crisis : the critical importance of < 350 ppm CO2
J. E. N. Veron,Ove Hoegh-Guldberg,Timothy M. Lenton,Janice M. Lough,David Obura,P. Pearce-Kelly,Charles Sheppard,Mark Spalding,Mark Spalding,M. G. Stafford-Smith,Alex Rogers +10 more
TL;DR: For example, if CO2 levels are allowed to reach 450 ppm (due to occur by 2030-2040 at the current rates), reefs will be in rapid and terminal decline world-wide from multiple synergies arising from mass bleaching, ocean acidification, and other environmental impacts as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coral Reefs and the Global Network of Marine Protected Areas
Camilo Mora,Camilo Mora,Serge Andréfouët,Mark J. Costello,Christine Kranenburg,Audrey Rollo,J. E. N. Veron,Kevin J. Gaston,Ransom A. Myers +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that existing marine reserves are largely ineffective and as a whole remain insufficient for the protection of coral reef diversity, and propose new marine reserves for coral reef preservation.
