aid in management of coral reef fisheries; detect and quantify ecosystem changes,
such as coral mortality following bleaching and seagrass dieback; predict disease
outbreaks in coral and sponge communities (see also Heron et al. 2010; Maynard
et al. 2010); predict coral spawning; predict doldrum conditions ahead of
bleaching and upwelling perturbations (Berkelmans et al. 2010; Weeks et al.
2010); and predict cold-water bleaching (Hoegh-Guldberg and Fine 2004). Such
products will provide valuable information for both coral reef management and
science applications.
Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank Peter Minnett, Ken Casey, Helen Beggs,
Claire Spillman, Jeff Maynard and William Skirving for helpful comments on components of this
chapter. Thanks to Gang Liu and Al Strong for assistance with Fig. 12.1. We also acknowledge
and thank Peter Mumby, Scott Woolridge, and Brad Congdon for allowing us to use their work as
case studies to solving more complex questions. The manuscript contents are solely the opinions
of the authors and do not constitute a statement of policy, decision, or position on behalf of
