Reef Ecosystems - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Coral reefs around the world are suffering from warming waters, ocean acidification, and localized stressors, such as pollution or overfishing Researchers are working to understand how each of these stressors impacts coral reef ecosystems, so they can protect corals and other reef inhabitants from further harm
Coral Stressors - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Corals make up the backbone of these reef ecosystems Tiny animals called polyps secrete a calcium carbonate skeleton they use for support and protection This rock-like skeletal structure is what we often think of as coral, but the coral in a reef is alive and growing, adding new layers to the skeleton over time
Can Sound Help Save Coral Reefs? - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution At one degraded reef, the system played a healthy soundscape At the other, the negative control, the system was turned on, but played nothing The healthy reef—the same one where the playback soundscape had been recorded—served as a positive control Once the cups were in place, Aoki checked for coral settlement after 24, 48, and 72 hours

In the Gardens of the Queen - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution “The coral reefs of Cuba may serve as a regional time capsule,” said Amy Apprill, a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution who led the U S contingent “Many coral reef ecosystems across the Caribbean have been heavily altered, and in some cases destroyed, by human impacts and by coral diseases
Development of a curious robot to study coral reef ecosystems awarded . . . A grant by the National Science Foundation to researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Syracuse University aims to open new avenues of robotic study of coral reefs by developing autonomous underwater vehicles capable of navigating complex environments and of collecting data over long periods of time
Innovative Techniques Provide New Means to Monitor Coral Reef Health The techniques, which look at microbes and dissolved metabolites – i e , chemicals that are produced during metabolism –were broadly applied to coral reefs off Florida as a new means to examine reef features, with these techniques also having conservation applications, according to a journal article, “Microorganisms and dissolved
