Understanding Reef Flat Sediment Regimes and Hydrodynamics can Inform Erosion Mitigation on Land

Coral reefs worldwide are affected by excessive sediment and nutrient delivery from adjacent watersheds. Land cover and land use changes contribute to reef ecosystem degradation, which in turn, diminish many ecosystem services, including coastal protection, recreation, and food provisioning. The obj...
