Economics of Coral Reef Restoration

, 2000
This chapter provides an introduction to the economics of coral reef restoration. A comparison of coral restoration schemes from four countries indicates that costs can vary from some US$ 13,000 per ha to over a hundred million US$ per ha. However, it also reveals that cost estimates in the literature are not readily comparable, and that many cost ...

Active Biopaste for Coral Reef Restoration

Advanced Materials
AbstractPreserving coral reefs is crucial for safeguarding marine biodiversity, global ecosystems, and coastal communities. Coral restoration focuses on farming and transplanting corals back onto reefs. However, traditional attachment methods, such as petroleum‐based epoxy, pose environmental risks or provide inefficient affixation.

The Coral Larval Box “CoLaB”: a novel and low‐cost method for delivering competent coral larvae onto degraded reefs for restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral reef restoration strategies are rapidly evolving to restore corals and reef functions in response to accelerating disturbances worldwide. One active restoration technique that is rapidly gaining momentum is the larval enhancement method which involves the introduction of cultured coral larvae directly onto degraded reefs ...

A user’s guide to coral reef restoration terminologies

Coral reefs
Global coral reef restoration efforts continue to diversify in approach, location, and socio-ecological context. In parallel, vocabulary has evolved such that practitioners, scientists, policy makers, communicators, and investors must navigate an ...

Growing an island: Okinotori [PDF]

, 2011
The UN Law of Sea defines an island as “a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is above water at high tide.” However, according to the same international law, not every kind of island engenders the same legal effects: “rocks which ...

Critical knowledge gaps in the conservation and restoration of cold‐water corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Critical knowledge gaps hamper effective conservation of threatened cold‐water coral (CWC) ecosystems, facing cumulative anthropogenic and climate pressures. This review provides a strategic roadmap for urgent, informed intervention.

Automated, objective texture segmentation of multibeam echosounder data - Seafloor survey and substrate maps from James Island to Ozette Lake, Washington Outer Coast [PDF]

, 2007
Without knowledge of basic seafloor characteristics, the ability to address any number of critical marine and/or coastal management issues is diminished. For example, management and conservation of essential fish habitat (EFH), a requirement mandated by

Rearing duration influences survival rate in the Post‐Larval Capture, Culture and Release of a coral reef fish

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Juvenile coral reef fish face an initial predation‐induced mortality bottleneck with mortality exceeding 60% within 48 hours of settlement. This intense predation, exacerbated by anthropogenic stressors, limits recruitment and contributes to global declines of reef fish populations. Post‐Larval Capture, Culture, and Release (PCCR),
