Upstream solutions to coral reef conservation: The payoffs of smart and cooperative decision-making
For the week of 16 January 2017
Greetings OpenChannels Community Members,
The Journal of Environmental Management has published a new paper, Upstream solutions to coral reef conservation: The payoffs of smart and cooperative decision-making. The authors "use a spatially explicit predictive model (InVEST-SDR) that quantifies change in sediment reaching the coast for evaluating the costs and benefits of alternative threat-abatement scenarios. We specifically use the model to examine trade-offs among possible agricultural road repair management actions (water bars to divert runoff and gravel to protect the road surface) across the landscape in West Maui, Hawaii, USA."
