Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Coastal and Estuarine Studies, Volume 61. The effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and related climate change on shallow coral reefs are gaining considerable attention for scientific and economic reasons worldwide. Although increased scientific research has improved our understanding of the response of coral reefs to climate change, we still lack key information that can help guide reef management. Research and monitoring of coral reef ecosystems over the past few decades have documented two major threats related to increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2: (1) increased sea surface temperatures and (2) increased seawater acidity (lower pH). Higher atmospheric CO2 levels have resulted in rising sea surface temperatures and proven to be an acute threat to corals and other reef-dwelling organisms. Short periods (days) of elevated sea surface temperatures by as little as 1–2°C above the normal maximum temperature has led to more frequent and more widespread episodes of coral bleaching-the expulsion of symbiotic algae. A more chronic consequence of increasing atmospheric CO2 is the lowering of pH of surface waters, which affects the rate at which corals and other reef organisms secrete and build their calcium carbonate skeletons. Average pH of the surface ocean has already decreased by an estimated 0.1 unit since preindustrial times, and will continue to decline in concert with rising atmospheric CO2. These climate-related Stressors combined with other direct anthropogenic assaults, such as overfishing and pollution, weaken reef organisms and increase their susceptibility to disease.

"The United States Virgin Islands (USVI) Reef Resilience and Climate Change: A workshop for Coral Reef Managers, held May 10-14, 2010 at the Frenchman's Reef and Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort on St. Thomas in the USVI, was the eighth in a series of capacity-building presentations. This workshop, based on A Reef Manager's Guide to Coral Bleaching (The Manager's Guide) and the Reef Resilience Toolkit: Resources for Reef Managers (R2 Toolkit), provided a response framework for mass bleaching and climate change and MPA design which incorporates the concept of resilience. This particular workshop was the third that occurred after a curriculum update that was undertaken in partnership with The Nature Conservancy Global Marine Initiative. The updated curriculum merges the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program Responding to Climate Change curriculum with The Nature Conservancy Reef Resilience Toolkit curriculum"--Overview.

Provides synthesis of current scientific knowledge on coral reef resilience and resistance to bleaching, and highlights resilience and resistance factors and some knowledge gaps. Discusses tools and strategies to enhance resilience, including the use of well-designed networks of marine protected areas and integrated coastal management.
