Ecological and Socio-Economic Impacts of Mass Coral Bleaching

Ecological and Socioeconomic Impact Studies

The Coastal Resources Center worked with the Marine Science Institute at the University of the Philippines to conduct a study on the ecological and socioeconomic impacts of the 1998 mass coral bleaching event in two locations in the Philippines. In addition, the project supported a Reef Check Foundation rapid survey of the ecological impact of a coral bleaching episode in Fiji in 2000.
