Coral Reefs, Seagrass, and Fishes

Bermuda’s coral reefs are the northernmost coral reefs of the Atlantic and some of the healthiest reefs in the world. Not surprisingly, coral reefs have long been a research topic of interest for scientists at ASU BIOS.

Active areas of research are aimed at assessing the composition of coral reefs locally and throughout the globe, and understanding how coral reef ecosystems function and respond to natural and man-made stresses. Our scientists are also engaged in research to understand more about Bermuda's fish populations, from distribution and abundance of native fishes to addressing issues of invasive species management.
