  1. Shown are numbers of analyzed coral fragments after 21 months of reciprocal transplantation between 5 sites exposed to different levels of anthropogenic impact in the central Red Sea. Paired sites correspond to distinct impacts: A/B = unimpacted, C/D = Local wastewater and nutrients, E/lost site F = Municipal sewage and sedimentation and oil
