Species-specific retention vs. recovery of coral thermal tolerance following nursery propagation [PDF]

Communications Biology
Thermal screening of coral source material is likely crucial to enhancing long-term restoration success under ocean warming. It is unclear, however, whether reef-based donor colonies retain their thermal tolerance in a nursery environment.

Potential contribution of fish restocking to the recovery of deteriorated coral reefs: an alternative restoration method? [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Counteracting the worldwide trend of coral reef degeneration is a major challenge for the scientific community. A crucial management approach to minimizing stress effects on healthy reefs and helping the recovery of disturbed reefs is reef protection ...

Coral reef restoration can reduce coastal contamination and pollution hazards

Communications Earth & Environment
Coral reef restoration can reduce the wave-driven flooding for coastal communities. However, this protection has yet to be assessed in terms of the reduced risk of flood-driven environmental contamination.

Site-Dependent Differences in Artificial Reef Function: Implications for Coral Reef Restoration [PDF]

, 2001
There is an increasing use of artificial structure in coral reef restoration (for references, see Spieler et al., this volume). Often artificial reef structures are chosen for a restoration project simply because they were used elsewhere.
