Coral recovery in the Seychelles – 10 years since the 1998 bleaching event
On Monday 5th May 2008, GVI representatives attended a presentation which described the current state of recovery in a number of coral reefs across the Interestingly, the long term scope of this study, and the variables measured, are consistent with the bi-annual monitoring approach that GVI has been conducting since 2004. These kinds of data sets present a powerful tool for predicting patterns of recovery or degradation across inshore reefs in this region and a useful snapshot of coral health in many heavily used areas. Furthermore, the assessment of reef recovery and ecology after massive habitat disturbances such as the 1998 bleaching event is well recognised as a vital component of future management stratagems and hence local industry.
