Comparison of Coral Growth Rates among Species, Growth Forms and Habitats on Unguja Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania

Ali M. Ussi & Christopher A. Muhando · Journal of Applied Life Sciences International · 2025

Recovery of degraded reefs depends on how quickly juvenile corals grow and how well they survive, both of which vary among growth forms. In Tanzania, species and habitat- specific performance information remains limited, constraining evidence-based restoration. We quantified juve...

Sedimentation Rates and Their Impact on Juvenile Coral Density and Survival on Reefs of Unguja Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania

Ali M. Ussi & Christopher A. Muhando · Asian Journal of Environment & Ecology · 2025

Sedimentation can hinder coral recruitment and early survival, but its variation across Zanzibar reefs is poorly quantified for restoration planning. We assessed the temporal and spatial variability of sedimentation rates at three reef sites on Unguja Island, Zanzibar (Chumbe, Ch...
