Sea-level rise (SLR) is expected to elevate the depth of seawater above shallow coral reefs, reducing light availability to the benthic environment, and impacting the survival and growth of corals especially on turbid reefs. However, the extent of impact at the deepest reef zones remains unknown. Co...
