Coral reef ecosystems have suffered an unprecedented loss of habitat-forming hard corals in recent decades. While marine conservation has historically focused on passive habitat protection, demand for and interest active restoration been growing However, a disconnect between coral practitioners, managers scientists resulted disjointed field where it is difficult to gain overview existing knowledge. To address this, we aimed synthesise the available knowledge comprehensive global review methods, incorporating data from peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with grey literature through survey practitioners. We found that case studies are dominated by short-term projects, 60% all projects reporting less than 18 months monitoring restored sites. Similarly, most relatively small spatial scale, median size area 100 m2. A diverse range species represented dataset, 229 different 72 genera. Overall, primarily fast-growing branching (59% studies), report survival 60 70%. date, young plagued similar 'growing pains' as ecological other ecosystems. These include 1) lack clear achievable objectives, 2) appropriate standardised and, 3) poorly designed relation stated objectives. Mitigating these will be crucial successfully scale up retain public trust tool resilience based management. Finally, while practitioners developed effective methods grow at scales, critical not view replacement meaningful action climate change.

Coral restoration and adaptation in Australia: The first five years

While coral reefs in Australia have historically been a showcase of conventional management informed by research, recent declines cover triggered efforts to innovate and integrate intervention restoration actions into frameworks. Here we outline the multi-faceted approaches that developed since 2017, from newly implemented in-water programs, research enhance resilience investigations socio-economic perspectives on goals. We describe projects using gardening, substrate stabilisation, repositioning, macro-algae removal, larval-based techniques. Three areas focus are also presented illustrate breadth Australian restoration, (1) transdisciplinary Reef Restoration Adaptation Program (RRAP), one world’s largest development programs focused reefs, (2) interventions performance under climate change, (3) socio-cultural perspectives. Together, these reflect an increasing urgency for action confront reef crisis, develop new additional tools manage consequent increase funding opportunities appetite implementation.

Coral bleaching response is unaltered following acclimatization to reefs with distinct environmental conditions

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 118(22)

Urgent action is needed to prevent the demise of coral reefs as climate crisis leads an increasingly warmer and more acidic ocean. Propagating change-resistant corals restore degraded one promising strategy; however, empirical evidence determine whether stress resistance affected by transplantation beyond a coral's native reef. Here, we assessed performance bleaching-resistant individuals two species following reciprocal between with distinct pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, sedimentation, flow dynamics heat response altered exposure novel physicochemical conditions in situ. Critically, had no influence on responses, indicating that this trait was relatively fixed. In contrast, growth highly plastic, not predictive environment. Coral metabolic rates overall fitness were higher at reef flow, diel fluctuations pH did differ cross-transplanted corals, acclimatization via plasticity within just 3 mo. Conversely, cross-transplants second than thus increasing potential recipient population. This experiment conducted during nonbleaching year, so benefits population are likely enhanced bleaching years. summary, study demonstrates outplanting tool for elevating populations ocean warming.

Efforts are accelerating to protect and restore ecosystems globally. With trillions of dollars in ecosystem services at stake, no clear framework exists for developing or prioritizing approaches coral reefs even as efforts investment opportunities do so grow worldwide. Restoration may buy time climate change mitigation, but it lacks rigorous guidance meet objectives scalability effectiveness. Lessons from restoration terrestrial can should be rapidly adopted reef restoration. We propose how the 10 golden rules effective forest translated accelerate based on established principles resilience, management, local stewardship. summarize steps undertake a management strategy context diverse service values that provide.

Horizon scan of rapidly advancing coral restoration approaches for 21st century reef management

Coral reef restoration activity is accelerating worldwide in efforts to offset the rate of health declines. Many advances have already been made practices centred on coral biology (coral restoration), and particularly those that look employ high adaptive state capacity corals order ensure rebuilding biomass also equip reefs with enhanced resilience future stress. We horizon scan state-of-play for many innovations underway across complex life cycle spans both asexual sexual reproduction — assisted evolution (manipulations targeted host host-associated microbes), biobanking, as well scalable propagation planting how these are different stages maturity support new 21st century management frameworks. Realising potential tools aids undoubtedly rests validating approaches their application continues scale. Whilst ecosystem service responses increased scaling still largely remain be seen, has delivered immense understanding coral-associated microbial long lagged behind other sciences.
