Typhoon damage on a shallow mesophotic reef in Okinawa, Japan

This study reports on the effects of Typhoon 17 (Jelawat) and how it affected Ryugu Reef on Okinawa-jima, Japan in September 2012. Unusually, researchers were able to survey the benthic communities before and after the typhoon and were thus able to determine the types of damage inflicted by the typhoon.

I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.
