Perspectives on the human dimensions of coral restoration [PDF]
Regional Environmental Change, 2020 Coral reef systems are at the point where passive restoration measures may have to be complemented by active restoration to protect global reefs. No longer is habitat conservation enough with the level and frequency of reef disturbance. This review explores the ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) approach of active coral restoration, with people at the ...

Producing Coral Offspring with Cryopreserved Sperm: A Tool for Coral Reef Restoration [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractCryopreservation is an important conservation tool, which may help reef-building coral survive. However, scaling-up from small, laboratory-sized experiments to higher-throughput restoration is a major challenge. To be an effective restoration tool, the cryopreservation methods and husbandry to produce new offspring must be defined.

Coral Reef Restorations Can Be Optimized to Reduce Coastal Flooding Hazards [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Coral reefs are effective natural coastal flood barriers that protect adjacent communities. Coral degradation compromises the coastal protection value of reefs while also reducing their other ecosystem services, making them a target for restoration. Here
