Sexual production of corals for reef restoration in the Anthropocene (2020, background): “…techniques, whereby corals are fragmented or microfragmented (asexually) and outplanted onto degraded reefs or artificial reef structures (Bowden-Kerby 2003, Rinkevich 2005, 2008, Forsman et al. 2006, 2015, Shaish et al. 2010, Johnson et al. 2011, Young et al. 2012, Lirman & Schop meyer 2016).”
Regional restoration benchmarks for Acropora cervicornis (2017, methodology): “Throughout the Caribbean, in situ coral nurseries are used to propagate a renewable source of the threatened staghorn coral, Acropora cervicornis for restoration and species recovery (Johnson et al. 2011).”
Restoration of critically endangered elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) populations using larvae reared from wild-caught gametes (2015, background): “While asexual propagation of Caribbean acroporids has been successful (e.g., Bowden-Kerby et al., 2005; Johnson et al., 2011; Nedimyer et al., 2011; Quinn and Kojis, 2006), it requires that fragments are harvested from otherwise healthy colonies.”
Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, methodology): “This method is described in Shafir et al. (2006, 2010) and Shafir and Rinkevich (2008a, 2008b), and the actual restoration projects have been shown in many papers, for example, Shaish et al. (2008) and Johnson et al. (2011).”
A Review of Reef Restoration and Coral Propagation Using the Threatened Genus Acropora in the Caribbean and Western Atlantic (2012, methodology): “Some of these issues can be addressed by strategically placing nurseries and restoration sites away from land-based sources of pollution, within marine protected areas, and/or in deeper habitats where temperature impacts may be lessened (Johnson et al. 2011, Schopmeyer et al. 2011).”
