Article in The Conversation, 23 May 2014.  ‘New research demonstrates that marine park reserves can have a real benefit for marine ecosystems — by protecting coral reefs from floods.’  Andrew Olds and his co-researchers have found that re-opening marine reserves to fishing can have unintended consequences that extend beyond direct effects on fish and fishers, and may impact on the functioning of coastal ecosystems.
