养护努力通过保护自然捕食者,减少了大堡礁海星的爆发。 Conservation efforts have reduced crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks on the Great Barrier Reef by protecting natural predators.

自2004年以来的养护努力,包括扩大禁捕区和更严格的捕鱼规则,通过增加皇帝和群鼠等自然掠食者的数量,帮助减少了大堡礁上的长角海星的爆发。 Conservation efforts since 2004, including expanded no-take zones and stricter fishing rules, have helped reduce crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks on the Great Barrier Reef by boosting populations of natural predators like emperors and groupers. CSIRO和大西洋、印度洋、地中海和南海区域的研究显示,保护区爆发的疫情较少,而模型显示,到2050年,在没有不断努力的情况下爆发的疫情增加了四倍。 Research by CSIRO and AIMS shows fewer outbreaks in protected areas, with modeling indicating a fourfold increase in outbreaks by 2050 without ongoing efforts. 调查结果突出表明,在气候威胁下,在支持珊瑚礁抗御能力方面,海洋保护以及有针对性的捕捉方案是有效的。 The findings highlight the effectiveness of marine protection and targeted culling programs in supporting reef resilience amid climate threats.
