Map of the semi-enclosed lagoon system in Bouraké (New Caledonia) and reference reef sites along with their physico-chemistry. (a) Location of the study sites L1–L4 (shown in insert) inside the mangrove system (green areas), and reference reef sites R1, which is characterised as an exposed outer-reef (indicated by grey hashed areas), and R2, sheltered between two islands (indicated by dark grey areas). (be) Physico-chemical parameters measured in February for sites R1 (b) and L1 (c), and March for sites R2 (d) and L2 (e). pH in total scale (pHT), dissolved oxygen (DO, mg L−1), and temperature (°C) were coupled to the tidal cycles (x axes, bottom; vertical bars) and daily light cycles (x axes, top; horizontal bars).
