Does Herbivorous Fish Protection Really Improve Coral Reef Resilience? A Case Study from New Caledonia (South Pacific)
Figure 3
Influence of reef protection on (A) coral recovery (CR) and (B) macroalgal relative development (MD).
Significance levels refer to Mann-Whitney tests of the effect of reef protection (two categories) on CR quantitative values and MD levels. “ns” = not significant, “MPA” = marine protected areas, “open” = open fishing areas.
