Aislinn Dunne:
I am studying the connections between coral reefs and other marine habitats. I explore how both fish and water flow between coral reefs and nearby mangroves, seagrass, and seaweed, transporting nutrients and biodiversity across coastal ecosystems. My aim is to understand how different habitats rely on or subsidize each other, and to identify which habitats are important for coral reefs to function as they face mounting damage from human impacts.
