Environmental impacts of dredging and other sediment disturbances on corals: a review. (2012, neutral): “…Manlag River, resulting in prolonged sediment deposition at rates of 20 mg cm–2 d–1 in Bacuit Bay (Philippines), injuring and killing many of the 50 coral species in the area, reducing species diversity, coral cover and average colony size (Hodgson, 1993; Birkeland, 1997; Hodgson and Dixon, 2000).”
Competition Among Sessile Organisms on Coral Reefs (2011, background): “Sponges that excavate and encrust carbonate substratum are particularly destructive competitors of stony corals (Glynn 1997, Rutzler 2002).”
Herbivory and the Resilience of Caribbean Coral Reefs: Knowledge Gaps and Implications for Management (2015, background): “…of benthic communities dominated by taxa tolerant to grazing, including crustose coralline algae and closely cropped filamentous turfs (Steneck 1988, Hay 1991, Carpenter 1997), which tend to have neutral or positive impacts on corals (Harrington et al. 2004, Price 2010, Barott et al. 2012).”
The historical biogeography of coral reef fishes: global patterns of origination and dispersal (2013, background): “Central Pacific during periods of sea-level change (Paulay, 1997; Fauvelot et al., 2003).”
Scuba diving damage and intensity of tourist activities increases coral disease prevalence (2014, background): “There is pressing demand to find income-generating alternatives to destructive and extractive uses of marine resources (Birkeland, 1997).”
