Evidence of extensive reef development and high coral cover in nearshore environments: implications for understanding coral adaptation in turbid settings

Mean coral cover has reportedly declined by over 15% during the last 30 years across the central Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Here, we present new data that documents widespread reef development within the more poorly studied turbid nearshore areas (<10 m depth), and show that coral cover on these r...
