Groundwater that seeps
into the coastal zone beneath the ocean's surface — termed submarine groundwater discharge (SGD)-- is an important source of fresh water and nutrients to
nearshore coral reefs throughout the globe.
Through this collective effort, and the translation of individual data
into baselines against which any impact — from human or natural origins — can be assessed,
nearshore ecosystems worldwide will be actively known, managed and protected.
This detailed study of carbon chemistry dynamics highlights the need to incorporate local effects of
nearshore oceanographic processes
into predictions of coral reef vulnerability and resilience.
