• Closing the circle: is it feasible to rehabilitate reefs with sexually propagated corals? (2013, methodology): “The former method has been practised for several decades (Alcala et al. 1982; Auberson 1982) and the techniques (at least in terms of rearing large numbers of asexual fragments) are now well established for many species and locations (Shafir et al. 2006).”
• The cost and feasibility of marine coastal restoration. (2015, methodology): “For the coral reefs records, where only cost per coral colony was provided (Shafir et al. 2006, Garrison and Ward 2008, Shaish et al. 2008, Ferse 2010, Levy et al. 2010, Nakamura et al. 2011, Guest et al. 2014), calculations for the restoration cost per area were based on a transplanting schedule…”
• A Review of Reef Restoration and Coral Propagation Using the Threatened Genus Acropora in the Caribbean and Western Atlantic (2012, background): “At present, one of the most commonly used coral propagation and restoration methods is “coral gardening” (Rinkevich 1995, Bowden-Kerby 2001, Epstein et al. 2003, Shafir et al. 2006, Shafir and Rinkevich 2008, Shaish et al. 2008).”
• Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, methodology): “Shafir et al. (2006) reported a marked increase in the growth of branching coral fragments farmed in floating nursery adjacent to an aquaculture cage for the gilthead seabream Sparus aurata (Linnaeus, 1758).”
• Direct seeding of mass-cultured coral larvae is not an effective option for reef rehabilitation (2015, methodology): “…only to have a significant long-term effect but also compete with alternative techniques such as sexual (Omori et al. 2008, Baria et al. 2010, Nakamura et al. 2011, Villa - nueva et al. 2012, Guest et al. 2014) and asexual nursery rearing (Epstein et al. 2003, Rinkevich 2006, Shafir et al. 2006).”
• Degradation and restoration of coral reefs: Experience in Okinawa, Japan (2011, background): “Estimates derived from nursery-grown fragments suggest that US$0.5 1.0 is needed per propagule (Shafir et al. 2006).”
• Regional restoration benchmarks for Acropora cervicornis (2017, background): “While long-term monitoring is required by permitting agencies for many, if not all, restoration projects, few studies have published the impacts of collection on existing wild populations used to populate coral nurseries (Epstein et al. 2001; Shafir et al. 2006; Lirman et al. 2010), or the success o”
• Caribbean Acropora restoration guide : best practices for propagation and population enhancement. (2011, methodology): “The “coral gardening” methodology, in which coral colonies or fragments are grown in underwater nurseries and then transplanted back onto degraded reefs, has been applied successfully at various scales (Rinkevich 2000; Shafir et al. 2006; Amar and Rinkevich 2007).”
• Possible effects of ocean acidification on coral reef biogeochemistry: topics for research (2008, background): “Also, nutrient loading as particles often increases skeletal growth (Bongiorni et al. 2003, Houlbrèque et al. 2003, Shafir et al. 2006), but no study to date has assessed the possible interactions between feeding and Ω.”
• Coral propagation: a review of techniques for ornamental trade and reef restoration (2017, background): “Some experiments have shown significant loss of fragments due to detachment from the substrate, with detachment rates surpassing direct fragment mortality rates in some cases (Shafir et al. 2006a; Shaish et al. 2008).”
• Host population genetic structure and zooxanthellae diversity of two reef-building coral species along the Florida Reef Tract and wider Caribbean (2010, background): “Nurseries are now ready to provide coral material for outplanting (Shafir et al. 2006; Berzins et al. 2008; Omori 2008), and restoration projects will become more common.”
• Fixed and suspended coral nurseries in the Philippines: Establishing the first step in the “gardening concept” of reef restoration (2008, methodology): “All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.jembe.2008.01.024 1995, 2005a; Chadwick-Furman, 1996; Hodgson, 1999; Epstein et al., 2001; Wilkinson, 2002; Manning et al., 2006; Shafir et al., 2006a).”
• Rebuilding coral reefs: does active reef restoration lead to sustainable reefs? (2014, background): “What has been learnt recently from nursery/transplantation acts? Studies [11,12 ,14,15 ,16–23,24 ] have already revealed that farmed corals not only compete successfully with natural colonies’ performance, but also exhibit improved health status, being free of parasites and diseases (developed and m”
