We also thank David Obura, Paul Marshall, Rod Salm, Andrew Hoey, Lyndon DeVantier, Emre Turak,
Bob Steneck, Laurence McCook, Gerry Allen, Lizzie McLeod, Jerker Tamelander and Joanne Wilson
for technical advice regarding monitoring methods for herbivorous reef fishes as indicators of coral
reef resilience; Jensen Montambault for providing advice regarding statistical analyses; Gerry Allen for
providing a species list of reef fishes of the Asia Pacific Region; and Gerry Allen, Richard Hamilton,

We are also grateful to the field practitioners who tested these methods in both the Asia Pacific

Bijoux).
This work would not have been possible without the generous support of the IUCN Working Group on
Climate Change and Coral Reefs, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation,
