Invasive macroalgae and sea urchin biocontrol on coral reefs

DOI

This project assessing manual removal and sea urchin biocontrol as a method for controlling invasive algae on coral reefs in Hawai'i. It is a collaboration between The State of Hawai'i Division of Land and Natural Ressources/Division of Aquartic Resources, Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology, the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, and considerable support from non-governmental organizations and conservation groups. A published manuscript for this project can be accessed at PeerJ. A DOI archive of this project can be found at Zenodo: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1285551
