“…Both parameters are weighted highly and have a considerable balancing effect on the susceptibility estimates. Different authors have attributed the low bleaching in this region to clouds and storms (Turner et al, 2000), geogra-phy, and temperature and current flow histories (McClanahan et al, 2005;Obura, 2005).…”

“…Recent studies in the Caribbean (Gardner et al, 2003) and Indo Pacific (Bruno and Selig, 2007) reveal a coral cover decline of over 50% over the past ∼40 years. In the Western Indian Ocean, like elsewhere, coral reef ecosystems have undergone a tremendous change (McClanahan, 2000;Turner et al, 2000;Sheppard, 2003;McClanahan et al, 2007a) scientists do not fully understand the causes (Dustan et al, 2001;Aronson and Precht, 2006), factors known to contribute to this change include over fishing and removal of grazers, use of destructive gear, climate change induced coral bleaching, the loss of algal symbionts, storm damage, disease, increasing abundance of algae and pollution (McClanahan, 2002;Hoegh-Guldberg, 1999;Rogers and Miller, 2006).…”

“…En la misma ley existen Artículos (16-29) que requieren la obtención de un permiso ambiental previo a la ejecución de obra física. Este procedimiento incluye la elaboración de un estudio de impacto ambiental en el caso de proyectos ambientalmente sensibles con incidencia en los arrecifes (Turner et al, 2006). Esta legislación ha permitido al MARN (Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales) regular actividades en playas, incluyendo las cercanas a arrecifes.…”

“…It is suggested that these equations may then be utilised as environmental trigger values for reactive dredge plume management. 20 This is a site-specific analysis using data from an actual dredging project in Australia but placed within a hypothetical context for commercial reasons. This method applies new techniques to the principles of taking background environmental conditions as water quality thresholds.…”
