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).”
Harnessing ecological processes to facilitate coral restoration (2018, unknown): “These efforts have become increasingly successful at reestablishing target corals that are often threatened or endangered (Figure 1; Young et al. 2012).”
Regional restoration benchmarks for Acropora cervicornis (2017, background): “In 2012, over 60 restoration projects focusing on the threatened coral genus Acropora were identified in the Caribbean (Young et al. 2012).”
Contrasting futures for ocean and society from different anthropogenic CO2 emissions scenarios (2015, unknown): “(149), coral farming (150), and customary local management (151).”
Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, background): “…genetic modifications to wild populations include the possibility of establishing monoclonal populations that would reduce fertilization success or artificially increase the local dominance of certain genotypes that may depress the genetic contribution of wild genotypes (Young et al. 2012).”
Restoration of critically endangered elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) populations using larvae reared from wild-caught gametes (2015, background): “…recovery of A. palmata populations, restoration efforts were initiated throughout the Caribbean region using asexual propagation or ‘‘coral gardening’’ approaches whereby fragments are cultured from donor colonies in nurseries before they are outplanted on the reef (reviewed in Young et al., 2012).”
Rebuilding coral reefs: does active reef restoration lead to sustainable reefs? (2014, background): “List of coral species farmed in coral nurseries worldwide ([13,14,18–23,24 ,37–51], unpublished).”
