Assessing Indicators and Limitations of Food Security Objectives in Coral Reef Restoration
Conservation & Society, 2021 Coral reef restoration is often presented as a marine conservation solution that provides 'win-win' outcomes. However, most studies on reef restoration have focused on the biological success, while little is known about whether social objectives are ever

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

A quick and reliable menthol-induced bleaching protocol for the Caribbean staghorn coral, Acropora cervicornis [PDF]
PeerJCorals and dinoflagellate algae form a unique mutualistic symbiosis that provides the energetic and structural foundation for shallow coral reef ecosystems. Despite the long success of this partnership in oligotrophic seas, coral reefs are in decline due

Conservation: Goldilocks Nations for Restoring Reef Sharks [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 The first baited, video-based global survey of coral reef sharks reveals widespread depletion and functional extinction from eight nations. The authors identify priority 'Goldilocks' nations with the necessary combination of governance and shark abundance to recover depleted shark populations.

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 ...
