Common aquarium antiseptics do not cause long-term shifts in coral microbiota but may impact coral growth rates

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionThough bacterial pathogens and parasites can compromise coral health, coral microbiome research increasingly suggests a beneficial role for bacterial species living in coral tissue and mucus. Recent studies suggest the application of targeted

Geographically driven differences in microbiomes of Acropora cervicornis originating from different regions of Florida’s Coral Reef [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Effective coral restoration must include comprehensive investigations of the targeted coral community that consider all aspects of the coral holobiont—the coral host, symbiotic algae, and microbiome.

Ocean Acidification and Direct Interactions Affect Coral, Macroalga, and Sponge Growth in the Florida Keys

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Coral reef community composition, function, and resilience have been altered by natural and anthropogenic stressors. Future anthropogenic ocean and coastal acidification (together termed “acidification”) may exacerbate this reef degradation.

Perspectives on the Use of Coral Reef Restoration as a Strategy to Support and Improve Reef Ecosystem Services

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In 2019, the United Nations Environment Assembly requested that the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) define best practices for coral restoration.

Coral reef restoration in Indonesia: lessons learnt from the world’s largest coral restoration nation

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2023
Abstract Indonesia is the global coral reef restoration leader by number of projects, yet these remain diverse and disparate. This study reviews the status of Indonesian coral reef restoration and current best practice (CBP) through the lens of international CBP as defined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration manager’s guide ...

Should Hybrids Be Used in Coral Nurseries? A Case Study Comparing Caribbean Acropora spp. and Their Hybrid in the Bahamas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
For decades, coral reef ecosystems have been in decline due to environmental stressors such as rising sea temperatures, increased disease prevalence, and other local anthropogenic sources.

A low-tech method for monitoring survival and growth of coral transplants at a boutique restoration site [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Background Coral reef restoration projects are becoming a popular corporate environmental responsibility activity at hotel resorts. Such involvement of private businesses offers the potential to expand restoration into a new socioeconomic sector. However,

Symbiont composition and coral genotype determines massive coral species performance under end-of-century climate scenarios

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The recent decline of coral health and substantial loss of coral cover along Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) results from local stressors such as degraded water quality and disease outbreaks in addition to anthropogenically driven global stressors including ...

Region-wide temporal and spatial variation in Caribbean reef architecture: is coral cover the whole story? [PDF]

, 2010
The architectural complexity of coral reefs is largely generated by reef-building corals, yet the effects of current regional-scale declines in coral cover on reef complexity are poorly understood.

Selecting coral species for reef restoration [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2021
Abstract Humans have long sought to restore species but little attention has been directed at how to best select a subset of foundation species for maintaining rich assemblages that support ecosystems, like coral reefs and rainforests, which are increasingly threatened by environmental change.
