[Coral-List] May 13 Coral Collaboration Seminar - Status Report on MPAs in the Federated States of Micronesia

[Robin Garcia - NOAA Affiliate]

Hello everyone, a reminder that the next Coral Collaboration seminar is
tomorrow. The updated title and description are below.

*Synergies between Micronesia fisheries policies and climate-induced
disturbances**: * Dr. Peter Houk will share new findings from the
Micronesia monitoring network that assessed the efficacy of several
coral-reef fisheries policies through time. The temporal assessment covered
a period of major coral-bleaching disturbance associated with the 2015-2017
ENSO. Thus, the results help us to understand the synergies between area
and non-area-based fisheries policies, and also understand how policies
facilitate reef resilience.
