Coral Disease Causes, Consequences, and Risk within Coral Restoration

Trends in Microbiology, 2020
As a result of increased reef degradation, restoration efforts are now being widely applied on coral reefs. However, outplanted coral survival in restoration zones varies substantially, and coral mortality can be a significant limitation to the success of restoration efforts.

Motivations, success, and cost of coral reef restoration [PDF]

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, 2019
Coral reef restoration is an increasingly important part of tropical marine conservation. Information about what motivates coral reef restoration as well as its success and cost is not well understood but is needed to inform restoration decisions. We systematically review and synthesize data from mostly scientific studies published in peer‐reviewed and

Shifting paradigms in restoration of the world's coral reefs

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2017
AbstractMany ecosystems around the world are rapidly deteriorating due to both local and global pressures, and perhaps none so precipitously as coral reefs. Management of coral reefs through maintenance (e.g., marine‐protected areas, catchment management to improve water quality), restoration, as well as global and national governmental agreements to ...

Conservation, management, and restoration of coral reefs

Zoology, 2015
The 8th International Conference on Coelenterate Biology (ICCB 8) was held in Eilat, Israel from December 1st to 5th 2013. The conference included 15 sessions, one of which discussed the latest information on the conservation, management, and restoration of Coelenterata in different parts of the world.

The Restoration Of Coral Reefs

2017
Coral restoration in the Caribbean was brought into sharp focus in 2005 when reefs throughout the region were severely impacted by a mass coral bleaching event, triggered by prolonged exposure to above normal water temperatures. The goal of outplanting has primarily been to establish enough colonies from a variety of different genotypes to enhance the ...

Coral reef restoration

Ecological Engineering, 2000
Abstract Coral reefs are widely recognized for concentration of biological activity, fisheries and tourism, coastal protection, geological processes, and aesthetic wonder. A principal cause of reef damage in Florida is ships running into reefs. The other major human impact on Florida’s reefs is dredging for beach renourishment and channel maintenance.

Coral graft restoration of osteochondral defects

Biomaterials, 1998
The quality of osteochondral repair produced by coral grafted into subchondral bone was examined. Osteochondral defects of 4 mm diameter and 4 mm deep in left femoral grooves of 24 rabbits were repaired using plugs of natural coral or left empty to heal naturally as ungrafted controls. The right knees were kept intact for normal controls.

Maximizing Genetic Diversity in Coral Restoration Projects

2022
As natural coral populations decline, thousands of outplanted corals are poised to dominate reefs in the hardest-hit areas, such as the Florida Keys. Genetic management plans are urgently needed to prevent unintended erosion of genetic diversity in managed populations.

Coral restoration: beyond coral production and coral outplanting 

Coral restoration has been targeted as one of the major priorities to cope with the rapid loss of shallow coral reefs in tropical oceans. For years coral restoration has focused on developing techniques and technologies aimed at rapid and cost-effective production of corals and ways to outplant to cover wide spatial scales. While this approach is valid,
