Abstract
The Phoenix Islands Protected Area is in a naturally iron-poor region in the equatorial central Pacific. The introduction of iron to this environment from shipwrecks is linked to proliferation of turf algae and cyanobacterial mats, and the formation of degraded ‘black reefs’. No recovery has been documented at black reefs observed between 2003 and 2015.
