Summary
This project aims to understand the lifecycle of St Helena’s endemic reef fish species, who hold different functional roles. They contribute to critical ecological processes and are important to the health of the ecosystem plus the cultural identity of the island. In-situ data must be gathered on biology and ecology of target species in order to assess susceptibility and tolerances to global warming, and the potential effects of global warming to the wider ecosystem.
