Coral reef declines have been recorded for all major tropical ocean basins since the 1980s,
averaging approximately 30-50% reductions in reef cover globally. These losses are a result …

Coral reef restoration is not the same as forest restoration as its success is not always
guaranteed because of insufficient knowledge of coral biology. The technology of active …

Coral-reef ecosystems are experiencing frequent and severe disturbance events that are
reducing global coral abundance and potentially overwhelming the natural capacity for reefs …

Reef restoration activities have proliferated in response to the need to mitigate coral
declines and recover lost reef structure, function, and ecosystem services. Here, we describe …

Sexual propagation of corals specifically for reef rehabilitation remains largely experimental.
In this study, we refined low technology culture and transplantation approaches and …

The marine ornamental species trade is a global industry that provides wild‐caught and
aquacultured marine life for consumers. Marine ornamental livestock is supplied to …

Coral cover on tropical reefs has declined during the last three decades due to the
combined effects of climate change, destructive fishing, pollution, and land use change …

Healthy benthic substrates that induce coral larvae to settle are necessary for coral recovery.
Yet, the biochemical cues required to induce coral settlement have not been identified for …

Reef restoration via direct outplanting of sexually propagated juvenile corals is a key
strategy in preserving coral reef ecosystem function in the face of global and local stressors …

Predicting the bleaching responses of corals is crucial in light of frequent heat stress events
to manage further losses of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, especially for reefs …
