Connectivity modelling identifies sources and sinks of coral recruitment within reef clusters

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

This study uses biophysical modelling to estimate coral larval connectivity estimates within the Moore Reef cluster, northern Great Barrier Reef, for the annual spawning events of Acropora corals in 2015, 2016 and 2017. The software used to generete the data are OceanParcels, RECOM --- Relocatable Coastal Model (https://research.csiro.au/ereefs/models/models-about/recom/) and 1 km grid resolution hydrodynamic model of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (https://research.csiro.au/ereefs/models/models-about/models-hydrodynamics}. Code for data generation and analysis are available at Zenodo Repository and are publicly accessible. Information on data collection and analysis can be found on the paper. .
