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 ...

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.

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.

Once and Future Gulf of Mexico Ecosystem: Restoration Recommendations of an Expert Working Group [PDF]

, 2011
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) well blowout released more petroleum hydrocarbons into the marine environment than any previous U.S. oil spill (4.9 million barrels), fouling marine life, damaging deep sea and shoreline habitats and causing closures of ...

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 ...

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.
