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 ...

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

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 ...

Targeting Golgi–STING Signaling to Reprogram Innate and Adaptive Immunity for the Treatment of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatform, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs, with a BaTiO3/Mn‐Zif‐8 core and a chondroitin sulfate coating for Golgi targeting. By leveraging neutrophil hitchhiking, it enables targeted delivery to infection sites. Under ultrasound stimulation, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs generates ROS and modulates Golgi pH to activate cGAS–STING ...

Novel infrastructure for coral gardening and reefscaping

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Since 1950, coral abundance has declined worldwide by an estimated 60%, and further dramatic declines are predicted. Although global reductions in carbon emissions are essential to prevent further loss, coral reef restoration has become imperative to ...

Active Biopaste for Coral Reef Restoration

Advanced Materials
AbstractPreserving coral reefs is crucial for safeguarding marine biodiversity, global ecosystems, and coastal communities. Coral restoration focuses on farming and transplanting corals back onto reefs. However, traditional attachment methods, such as petroleum‐based epoxy, pose environmental risks or provide inefficient affixation.

A Review of Coral Reef Restoration Methods

Journal of Student Research, 2023
Due to global warming and human activity, the coral population has decreased by 50% since the 1950s. (Wetzel, 2021).  Many policies have been placed on conserving the coral reefs, but more is needed to stop the rapid decline. All around the world, different researchers performed multiple types of restoration methods to try and reverse the damage and ...
