WORK & PUBLICATIONS

CCMI and visiting scientists are revealing new species and higher biodiversity than previously known on our reefs. Work on the Early History of Coral Reefs is showing that, while adult corals have been reduced by 40%, juvenile corals (of every major species important on Caribbean reefs) are re-populating the reefs. We have documented that a deadly disease called White Plague is the leading cause of mortality of corals in the region.

The following describes the primary themes and topics behind our research along with select publications, theses & projects worked on by researchers & students:
