Abstract
Gemma Galbraith studied the ecology of reef fishes on submerged pinnacle coral reefs. She found that these unique but understudied coral reef habitats supported distinct, diverse and highly productive fish communities. Gemma's research demonstrates that small submerged patch reefs are valuable seascape assets to reef fish ecology and conservation.
