States, where stakeholders were interviewed, are highlighted and divided between the region where coral reefs (states in darker blue) and rocky reefs (states in light blue) are found. It is shown which stakeholders were interviewed in each state: fishers with a sailboat, divers represented with a snorkel, and reef scientists symbolized with a hand glass. The map on the bottom left showing South America, localizing Brazil.

Reefs are highly diverse ecosystems threatened by anthropogenic actions that change their structure and dynamics. Many of these changes have been witnessed by different reef users who hold specific knowledge about the reefscape according to their experiences and uses. We aimed to understand whether fishers, divers, and reef scientists have differen...

The poor generalization performance and heavy training burden of the gesture classification model contribute as two main barriers that hinder the commercialization of sEMG-based human-machine interaction (HMI) systems. To overcome these challenges, eight unsupervised transfer learning (TL) algorithms developed on the basis of convolutional neural n...
Mesophotic (30–150 m) and rariphotic (150–300 m) deeper reef habitats are important from an ecological and conservation perspective, yet remain understudied. Key knowledge gaps exist on the environmental patterns and processes that drive and shape their geographical distributions. Understanding these is particularly important for regions as the Wes...
External tagging methods can aid in the research of leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) in terms of its spatio-temporal behavior at population and individual scales. However, due to the strong exclusion ability and the damage to the body wall of P. leopardus, the retention rate of traditional invasive tagging methods is low. To develop a...

... Prior to data collection, respondents were informed about the purpose of the study and asked if they would be willing to participate (Nyangoko et al., 2022). Only individuals who had some interaction with coral reefs and whose well-being related to these ecosystems were involved for interviews (Quirino-Amador et al., 2021), and the interviewees were selected purposefully with the help of village leaders (Sheha). Data from the social survey were gathered through household surveys and key informant interviews (KIIs), while biological survey involved line intercept transect (LIT) and direct observations. ...
