Coral Reefs of the Chagos Archipelago, Indian Ocean, are no direct human impacts so that soft coral and coral cover is as high as it was before the massive mortality episode. There is a very low incidence of coral disease, and there are no recorded marine invasive species, a condition which is unprecedented in coral seas. The area contains between 25

The area is also well placed to fill a large gap in global monitoring systems; it is located in key region of climate variability, so programmes carried out there are particularly important to research into climate change effe
