Coral reef restoration efforts in Latin American countries and territories.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Coral reefs worldwide are degrading due to climate change, overfishing, pollution, coastal development, coral bleaching, and diseases. In areas where the natural recovery of an ecosystem is negligible or protection through management interventions ...

Coral reef restoration can reduce coastal contamination and pollution hazards

Communications Earth & Environment
Coral reef restoration can reduce the wave-driven flooding for coastal communities. However, this protection has yet to be assessed in terms of the reduced risk of flood-driven environmental contamination.

The Role of Coral Reefs in Coastal Protection: Analysis of Beach Morphology [PDF]

Journal of Coastal Research, 2019
This paper evaluates the effect of a fringing reef on the morphodynamic behaviour of adjacent beaches in terms of profile stability and cross-shore sediment exchange. Variations in subaerial beach morphology along 39 cross-shore profiles at Pontal do Cupe beach (Northeastern Brazil) were analysed, using modelled wave data and monthly beach topography ...

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

DNA barcoding of coral reef fishes from Chuuk State, Micronesia

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The fish diversity of Chuuk Micronesia is currently under threat due to rapid changes in the coral reef ecosystem. Thus, accurate fish identification using DNA barcodes is fundamental for exploring species biodiversity and resource protection.

A Comparison of Marine Protected Areas and Alternative Approaches to Coral-Reef Management [PDF]

Current Biology, 2006
Marine protected areas (MPAs) have been widely adopted as the leading tool for coral-reef conservation, but resource users seldom accept them , and many have failed to produce tangible conservation benefits [3]. Few studies have objectively and simultaneously examined the types of MPAs that are most effective in conserving reef resources and the ...

Solvent‐Rich Pre‐Coagulation Bath for Tunable Liquid‐State Fusion Enables Robust Two‐Step Polymer Embedded Printing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables complex structures, but polymer printing often suffers from poor interlayer fusion and defects induced by heat or binders. A two‐step, room‐temperature strategy based on immersion phase separation (IPS‐E3DP) achieves precise liquid‐state fusion with high structural fidelity, enhanced mechanical performance, broad material

Prioritizing Land and Sea Conservation Investments to Protect Coral Reefs

PLoS ONE, 2010
Coral reefs have exceptional biodiversity, support the livelihoods of millions of people, and are threatened by multiple human activities on land (e.g. farming) and in the sea (e.g. overfishing). Most conservation efforts occur at local scales and, when effective, can increase the resilience of coral reefs to global threats such as climate change (e.g.
