(a) Location of Aldabra Atoll in the Indian Ocean and within Seychelles. (b) The twelve Aldabra Reef Monitoring (ARM) sites are located on the seaward reef (nine) and inside the lagoon (three) and data from sites 1–6 and 8 is included in the analysis. Blue polygons on the seaward reefs demark zones within which SIF permits handline bottom fishing of its subsistence fishery; yellow zones demark areas within which tourism activities are allowed (snorkeling, diving, boating). Mean wave energy across cardinal directions during the northwest monsoon (c) and southeast monsoon (d) calculated from satellite data (WaveWatch III Global Wave Model96; 50 km resolution) recorded at one raster cell at the southwest of Aldabra: −9.5, 46.0 (also see Methods S1 in the Supplementary Material). Figure modified after Koester et al.51 with the map layout adapted from J. Letori’s original design.
