Estes,Terry P. Hughes,Susan M. Kidwell,Carina B. Lange,Hunter S. Lenihan,John M. Pandolfi,Charles H. Peterson,Robert S. Steneck,Mia J. Tegner,Robert R. Warner +19 more
TL;DR: Paleoecological, archaeological, and historical data show that time lags of decades to centuries occurred between the onset of overfishing and consequent changes in ecological communities, because unfished species of similar trophic level assumed the ecological roles of over-fished species until they too were overfished or died of epidemic diseases related to overcrowding as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coral Reefs Under Rapid Climate Change and Ocean Acidification
Ove Hoegh-Guldberg,Peter J. Mumby,Anthony J. Hooten,Robert S. Steneck,Paul F. Greenfield,Edgardo D. Gomez,C. D. Harvell,Peter F. Sale,Alasdair J. Edwards,Ken Caldeira,Nancy Knowlton,C. M. Eakin,Roberto Iglesias-Prieto,Nyawira A. Muthiga,Roger Bradbury,Alfonse M. Dubi,Marea E. Hatziolos +16 more
TL;DR: As the International Year of the Reef 2008 begins, scaled-up management intervention and decisive action on global emissions are required if the loss of coral-dominated ecosystems is to be avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depletion, Degradation, and Recovery Potential of Estuaries and Coastal Seas
Heike K. Lotze,Hunter S. Lenihan,Bruce J. Bourque,Roger Bradbury,Richard G. Cooke,Matthew C. Kay,Susan M. Kidwell,Michael Xavier Kirby,Charles H. Peterson,Jeremy B. C. Jackson,Jeremy B. C. Jackson +10 more
TL;DR: Reconstructed time lines, causes, and consequences of change in 12 once diverse and productive estuaries and coastal seas worldwide show similar patterns: Human impacts have depleted >90% of formerly important species, destroyed >65% of seagrass and wetland habitat, degraded water quality, and accelerated species invasions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Trajectories of the Long-Term Decline of Coral Reef Ecosystems
John M. Pandolfi,Roger Bradbury,Enric Sala,Terry P. Hughes,Karen A. Bjorndal,Richard G. Cooke,Deborah A. McArdle,Loren McClenachan,Marah J. H. Newman,Gustavo Paredes,Robert R. Warner,Jeremy B. C. Jackson,Jeremy B. C. Jackson +12 more
TL;DR: Records are compiled, extending back thousands of years, of the status and trends of seven major guilds of carnivores, herbivores, and architectural species from 14 regions that indicate reefs will not survive without immediate protection from human exploitation over large spatial scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are U.S. coral reefs on the slippery slope to slime
John M. Pandolfi,Jeremy B. C. Jackson,Jeremy B. C. Jackson,N. Baron,Roger Bradbury,Hector M. Guzman,Terry P. Hughes,Carrie V. Kappel,Fiorenza Micheli,John C. Ogden,Hugh P. Possingham,Enric Sala +11 more
TL;DR: The authors of this paper as discussed by the authors argue that the harmful effects of stressors like overfishing, pollution, poor land-use practices, and global warming are interdependent, and that prompt implementation of proven, practical solutions would lead to both short and long-term benefits.
