Article Synopsis
- Ecological forecasts are becoming important for conservation, but few systems offer near-real-time predictions that account for ecological complexities.
- A new forecasting system for coral disease predicts risks of white syndromes and growth anomalies using ecological and environmental data, producing weekly forecasts with improved accuracy compared to previous systems.
- The tool supports decision-making through an online platform that allows users to explore predictions and intervention scenarios in real-time, effectively addressing the challenges of ecological forecasting.
Full recovery of coral reefs from tropical cyclone (TC) damage can take decades, making cyclones a major driver of habitat condition where they occur regularly. Since 1985, 44 TCs generated gale force winds (≥17 metres/second) within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP). Of the hurricane strength TCs (≥H1-Saffir Simpson scale; ≥ category 3 Australian scale), TC Yasi (February, 2011) was the largest.
