Question

Imagine a species of coral reef fish that is threatened by both overfishing and pollution. Design an observational study (or possibly a pair of studies) that you could use to understand the relative importance of these two threats. Be sure to specify whether you would use a control-impact, BACI, or regression approach. Describe how your study would deal with any potentially confounding variables.

Answer 1

In this ecological coral reef study, we used a control impact approach, BACI.

What kind of threats do coral reefs face?

Unfortunately, coral reefs suffer from a number of threats, ranging from

• Overfishing to coastal development
• Agricultural runoff
• and Shipping.

Furthermore, climate change further exacerbates these local threats.
