📢First paper from my PhD @EssexLifeSci.

We found that nearly a BILLION people live within 100km of coral reefs. 🪸

60 #coralreef countries have 100% of their population within 100km of #coral #reefs

EXCITING DISCOVERY: #GalapagosDeep2023 have found the largest known Galapagos #reef in the #deepsea waters of the platform using #Alvin. And its beautiful 🤩 Unusually high % live coral (Madrepora), as far as the eye can see. Check video out: https://t.co/rDqj13ge3B 1/2

[Prof. Steve Simpson @profstevesimpson.bsky.social @DrSteveSimpson]

Valuable assessment of proximity of human populations to coral reefs. ~1 billion people in 117 nations live within 100km of reefs, and population growth 5-10km from reefs is 4x the global average. Means growing strain on reef resources and dependency on coastal protection.

[Amy SW @Amysw13]

📢New paper in @GlobalChangeBio from my PhD @EssexLifeSci with @Dr_MTaylor.

We created a 20 year dataset of human populations living with 5 - 100km of #coralreefs.

94% of SIDS countries have 100% of their population living within 100km of a coral reef

[Amy SW @Amysw13]

@reef_scientist @Dr_MTaylor @GlobalChangeBio @EssexLifeSci Hi Emma, absolutely, our paper is representing trends in human population and does not imply causal links between reef degradation. 🙂

[Dr Michelle Taylor @Dr_MTaylor]

New @GlobalChangeBio paper - The Indian Ocean saw a 33% increase in populations within 100km of a coral reef and 71% at 5km in the last 20 yrs. https://t.co/UOWODD4P7X @EssexLifeSci @AmySW13 @Dr_MTaylor

[University of Essex @Uni_of_Essex]

Almost one billion people now live within 100 km of coral reefs – putting further pressure on these fragile ecosystems.

The study by @AmySW13 @Dr_MTaylor of @EssexLifeSci has explored the impact of steep population increases near coral reefs.
