The global decline of coral reefs had led to calls for strategies that reconcile biodiversity conservation and fisheries benefits. Still considerable gaps in our understanding of the spatial ecology of ecosystem services remain. We combined spatial information on larval dispersal networks and estimated of human pressure to test the importance of connectivity for ecosystem service provision. We found that reefs receiving larvae from highly connected dispersal corridors were associated with high fish species richness.

The Pacific ocean's exceptional terrestrial and marine biodiversity offers invaluable services to communities. But for this part of the world is particularly vulnerable to climate change, which has a direct impact on ecosystems and traditional way of life. The KIWA initiative is a multi-donor program that aims to strengthen the climate resilience of ecosystems, communities and economies in the Pacific countries and territories by using Nature-based solutions (NbS) to protect, restore and sustainably manage biodiversity.
