Comparative Effects of Different Disturbances in Coral Reef Habitats in Moorea, French Polynesia (2011, background): “Areas in which coral reef degradation is most pronounced (the Caribbean, SE Asia, and the western Indian Ocean) are characterized by a long history of heavy exploitation of coral reef resources and other chronic disturbances [9], which may have increased vulnerability to recent acute disturbances, s”
