Producing Coral Offspring with Cryopreserved Sperm: A Tool for Coral Reef Restoration [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractCryopreservation is an important conservation tool, which may help reef-building coral survive. However, scaling-up from small, laboratory-sized experiments to higher-throughput restoration is a major challenge. To be an effective restoration tool, the cryopreservation methods and husbandry to produce new offspring must be defined.

The potential for coral reef restoration to mitigate coastal flooding as sea levels rise
Nature Communications, 2023 The ability of reefs to protect coastlines from storm-driven flooding hinges on their capacity to keep pace with sea-level rise. Here, we show how and whether coral restoration could achieve the often-cited goal of reversing the impacts of coral-reef ...

Coral Reef Restorations Can Be Optimized to Reduce Coastal Flooding Hazards
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Coral reefs are effective natural coastal flood barriers that protect adjacent communities. Coral degradation compromises the coastal protection value of reefs while also reducing their other ecosystem services, making them a target for restoration. Here
