Abstract

Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs are the world’s southernmost open ocean platform reefs, supporting a unique mix of tropical and subtropical species. While isolated reefs, such as Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs, are often described as being ‘near pristine’ due to limited local anthropogenic impacts, these isolated reefs (like coral reefs globally) are being increasingly exposed to changing environmental conditions, particularly ocean warming. Quantifying the status and trends on these reefs is critical to understand the responses of these reef ecosystems to contemporary and future disturbances.
