Overview of the study area. (a) The GBR is located on the continental shelf along the North-eastern coast of Australia. It is composed of more than 3000 reefs and displays an average depth of a few dozen meters. (b) Close-up view on some reefs in the central part of the GBR. The limits of reefs, as indicated in the GBRMPA reef map, are shown in red. (c, d) Streamlines and velocity fields of the simulated currents on 15 Dec. 2020 at 5pm with the coarsest (c) and finest resolution model (d). (e) Overview of the connectivity network of larval exchanges between reefs (the darker the line, the more larvae are exchanged). Connections are displayed between reef centroids, represented with white circles.
