Abstract
Deborah Burn investigated the vulnerability to disturbance and recovery potential of isolated coral assemblages in Australia’s Coral Sea Marine Park. Her research revealed regional variation in bleaching and coral loss following the 2020 marine heatwave, with limited recovery potential, highlighting the vulnerability of remote Coral Sea reefs.
