Resilience of coral reefs
The resilience of coral reefs is the capacity of coral reefs to resist natural and anthropogenic disturbances such as storms and bleaching episodes, and recover after damage. Resilience refers to the ability of biological or social systems to maintain key functions or adapting to change in order to overcome pressures and stresses in the environment.
