Coral Reef Socio-Ecological Systems Analysis & Restoration [PDF]
Sustainability, 2018 Restoration strategies for coral reefs are usually focused on the recovery of bio-physical characteristics. They seldom include an evaluation of the recovery of the socio-ecological and ecosystem services features of coral reef systems. This paper proposes a conceptual framework to address both the socio-ecological system features of coral reefs with ...

Density dependence drives habitat production and survivorship of Acropora cervicornis used for restoration on a Caribbean coral reef [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 Coral restoration is gaining traction as a viable strategy to help restore degraded reefs. While the nascent field of coral restoration has rapidly progressed in the past decade, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding the drivers of restoration ...

Fish predation hinders the success of coral restoration efforts using fragmented massive corals. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 As coral reefs continue to decline globally, coral restoration practitioners have explored various approaches to return coral cover and diversity to decimated reefs. While branching coral species have long been the focus of restoration efforts, the recent development of the microfragmentation coral propagation technique has made it

Creation of complex reef structures through coral restoration does not affect associated fish populations on a remote, well-protected, Caribbean reef [PDF]
PeerJCoral reef ecosystems are facing severe degradation due to anthropogenic activities at both local and global scales. In response, extensive restoration efforts are underway, aiming to bolster coral cover and enhance reef fish communities to foster ...

Assisted sexual reproduction of Acropora cervicornis for active restoration on Florida’s Coral Reef
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Given the rapid, global decline in the health and abundance of coral reefs, increased investments in restoration-based interventions -including asexual and sexual propagation- are being made by coral reef scientists at research institutions, but also at ...
