Presentation: The Future of Coral Reefs: Does It Depend on Help from Fish? (Burkepile) Coral reefs are a hub of marine biodiversity. They provide food, recreation and shoreline protection to some 1 billion people. But reefs around the globe have seen 50 to 90 percent declines in coral abundance, and forecasts of reef health have been dire. Long-term resea... https://lternet.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2018-NSF-LTER-symposium-Burkepile-reduced.pdf	June 10, 2019
