Coral propagation: a review of techniques for ornamental trade and reef restoration (2017, background): “However, they noted that the leg-fixed nursery sustained less damage from strong currents, subsequently requiring less labour for maintenance (Shaish et al. 2008).”
Degradation and restoration of coral reefs: Experience in Okinawa, Japan (2011, methodology): “Rinkevich (1995) and others (cf. Shafir & Rinkevich 2008; Shaish et al. 2008) recently proposed ‘gardening the coral reef concept’ that is based on a two-step protocol: (1) rearing coral propagules in nurseries to plantable size, and (2) transplanting the nursery-grown coral 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).”
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…”
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”
Regional restoration benchmarks for Acropora cervicornis (2017, background): “Adapted from terrestrial silviculture, ‘‘coral gardening’’ is one of the most commonly used coral propagation and restoration methods (Rinkevich 1995; Bowden-Kerby 2001; Epstein et al. 2003; Shafir et al. 2006; Shafir and Rinkevich 2008; Shaish et al. 2008).”
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).”
