AB  - Coral reef ecosystems and the people who depend on them are increasingly exposed 
      to the adverse effects of global environmental change (GEC), including increases 
      in sea-surface temperature and ocean acidification. Managers and decision-makers 
      need a better understanding of the options available for action in the face of 
      these changes. We refine a typology of actions developed by Gattuso et al. (2015) 
      that could serve in prioritizing strategies to deal with the impacts of GEC on 
      reefs and people. Using the typology we refined, we investigate the scientific 
      effort devoted to four types of management strategies: mitigate, protect, repair, 
      adapt that we tie to the components of the chain of impact they affect: 
      ecological vulnerability or social vulnerability. A systematic literature review 
      is used to investigate quantitatively how scientific effort over the past 25 
      years is responding to the challenge posed by GEC on coral reefs and to identify 
      gaps in research. A growing literature has focused on these impacts and on 
      management strategies to sustain coral reef social-ecological systems. We 
      identify 767 peer reviewed articles published between 1990 and 2016 that address 
      coral reef management in the context of GEC. The rate of publication of such 
      studies has increased over the years, following the general trend in climate 
      research. The literature focuses on protect strategies the most, followed by 
      mitigate and adapt strategies, and finally repair strategies. Developed 
      countries, particularly Australia and the United States, are over-represented as 
      authors and locations of case studies across all types of management strategies. 
      Authors affiliated in developed countries play a major role in investigating case 
      studies across the globe. The majority of articles focus on only one of the four 
      categories of actions. A gap analysis reveals three directions for future 
      research: (1) more research is needed in South-East Asia and other developing 
      countries where the impacts of GEC on coral reefs will be the greatest, (2) more 
      scholarly effort should be devoted to understanding how adapt and repair 
      strategies can deal with the impacts of GEC, and (3) the simultaneous assessment 
      of multiple strategies is needed to understand trade-offs and synergies between 
      actions.
