From shell to shelter: investigating small reef fish abundance on degraded seafloor restored with mussels and shell material

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Reef‐forming shellfish facilitate biodiversity through providing structural complexity in benthic habitats. Globally, reef‐forming shellfish have been overharvested to near extirpation, with a corresponding loss in biodiversity. Mussel shell material, an aquaculture by‐product, has the potential to rehabilitate ecosystem services ...

Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

Global meta‐analysis highlights recovery of animal functional diversity in restored coastal ecosystems

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal ecosystems have experienced widespread global degradation, prompting substantial investment in restoration. While structural recovery is well documented, whether restoration reestablishes the functional diversity (FD) of animal communities and how recovery unfolds through time remains poorly resolved.

Estimating the greenhouse gas emission abatement potential of tidal introduction in Australia

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetlands store higher amounts of organic carbon and sequester it at higher rates in soil relative to terrestrial ecosystems. However, they have been extensively drained, excavated, or modified, often to allow agriculture. Restoring degraded coastal wetlands can be an important contribution to climate change mitigation by ...

Chemical Diversity of Mediterranean Seagrasses Volatilome

Metabolites
Background/Objectives: Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), extensively studied in terrestrial plants with global emissions around 1 PgC yr−1, are also produced by marine organisms.

Antifouling capacity of substrate materials and their effects on settlement and post‐settlement survival of Acropora palmata and Orbicella faveolata

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In coral reef restoration, sexual reproduction is a key methodology to enhance coral population recovery. However, post‐settlement survival remains a major bottleneck, as spat are particularly vulnerable to competition with fouling organisms.

Kelp‐boulder transplants for habitat restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Degraded habitats present a major barrier to the survival and recovery of threatened marine species, particularly where structural or biogenic complexity has been lost, and natural regeneration ability is uncertain. Despite growing interest in habitat restoration, techniques rarely deliver rapid improvements at the necessary ...

Thermal Stress Is Associated With Fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica Meadows

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
By combining a physiological model of cumulative thermal stress with AI‐based seagrass mapping, we show that chronic sublethal warming is associated with fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows and increased regression risk by 2100. ABSTRACT Posidonia oceanica meadows, which underpin Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, are undergoing ...

Beyond Blue Carbon: Estimating the Value of Ecosystem Services Provided by Coastal Wetlands in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.
Blue carbon ecosystems (BCE), including mangroves, saltmarshes, and seagrasses, provide essential functions and services globally but are increasingly challenged by climate change and other anthropogenic activities. In Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa NZ), there is mounting interest in blue carbon as a nature‐based solution to climate change. Quantifying
