A University of Hawaii at Manoa study has found that native sea urchins can successfully reduce the invasive, reef-smothering macroalgae by 85 percent on a coral reef at Kaneohe Bay on Oahu. Chris ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 56, No. 1 (2011), pp. 119-132 (14 pages) We experimentally investigated the response of phytoplankton and understory macroalgae to canopies of giant kelp, Macrocystis ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — The structural complexity of coral reefs creates a vibrant underwater city populated by a diverse assortment of characters. Ironically, this same complexity can impede coral ...

Researchers have found a management approach that combining manual removal and outplanting native urchin was effective at reducing invasive, reef smothering macroalgae by 85 percent on a coral reef ...
