Before revision: Climate change threats to coral reefsCombats ocean acidification by: maintaining coastal primary producers, increasing teleost biomass (osmosregulation buffers pH change), and increasing natural carbon sequestration via the biological pump Increased: populations, species resilience, genetic diversity, and potential for adaptations, lowering the risk of extinction Protection of natural resources The objective of protected areas is to conserve biodiversity and to provide a way for measuring the progress of such conservation.
