So excited that this work is finally out in the world! An example of working with practitioners to develop a mathematical model that can provide insight into the usefulness of management methods for coral reef health in the region.

Katriona Shea, Emma Hudgins, Chris Baker, Shona Elliot-Kerr, Alys Young, Ayesha IT Tulloch, Luping Zhang also contributed to this study, which came from discussions that happened during a larger working group on value of information last November!

A study I'm proud to have contributed to, led by @katehelmstedt.bsky.social @matthholden.bsky.social @hugepossum.bsky.social! The study pushes for people to explicitly consider for what purpose they are pursuing environmental monitoring, and gives 15 example reasons.

LISTEN: Coral reefs face unprecedented pressures. But scientists are finding some are more resilient than others. On a new #WCSWildAudio with WCS’s Dr. Emily Darling, a strategy to shape the future of coral conservation worldwide. 🌎 apple.co/45Gk8yR

A great collaboration with @emilysdarling.bsky.social, @stacyjupiter.bsky.social, @sangeetamangubhai.bsky.social, Amelia Wenger, Marie-Josée Fortin, Martin Krkosek, Yashika Nand and Marco Andrello.

How do you know whether or not your conservation monitoring program is helping you to deliver outcomes? We have made a checklist of 15 distinct reasons - some more directly connected to outcomes than others.
