Allowing coral reef fish to rebound is emerging as one of the clearest ways to put more healthy protein on the plates of coastal families without stripping the ocean bare. New science suggests that if ...

Scientists say coral fisheries could sustainably provide thousands of additional meals per square kilometer. But it requires ...

Coral reefs are often framed as postcard scenery or biodiversity hotspots, but they are also working food factories that the world is quietly running into the ground. As overfishing and climate stress ...

A groundbreaking study of 7,000-year-old exposed coral reef fossils reveals how human fishing has transformed Caribbean reef food webs: As sharks declined by 75 percent and fish preferred by humans ...
