Key land-sea linkages. Watersheds linked to coral reef areas are indicated by matching colors under each scenario. (a) Under the current land-use and high climate change scenario, watersheds are linked to coral reef areas vulnerable to sediment runoff and bleaching impacts. (b) Under the deforestation scenario, watersheds are linked to coral reef areas vulnerable to their sediment runoff. (c) Under the restoration scenario, watersheds are linked to coral reef areas with high recovery potential due to reduced sediment runoff. (d) Under the deforestation and high climate change scenario, watersheds are linked to coral reef areas vulnerable to their sediment runoff and bleaching impacts. (e) Under the high bleaching and restoration scenario, watersheds are linked to coral reef areas with high recovery potential from reduced sediment runoff under restoration and coral reef areas vulnerable to sediment runoff under impact from high bleaching.
