Spatial and temporal variations in turbidity on two inshore turbid reefs on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

This study describes the natural turbidity regimes at two inshore turbid reefs on the central Great Barrier Reef where wind-driven waves are the main agent of sediment resuspension. Many corals on inshore turbid reefs have adapted to high and fluctuating turbidity, however, anthropogenic activities...
