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, methodology): “Thus, the integration of socioeconomic needs and perspectives of local stakeholder groups who depend upon coral reefs in the Caribbean is an important step in successful coral reef restoration (Bowden-Kerby 2001, Goreau and Hilbertz 2005).”
Coral propagation: a review of techniques for ornamental trade and reef restoration (2017, background): “Some authors recommend collection of larger fragments to minimise fragment mortality (Bowden-Kerby 1997, 2001; Okubo et al. 2005; Forsman et al. 2006).”
Propagation of the threatened staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis: methods to minimize the impacts of fragment collection and maximize production (2010, background): “From a fragment-survivorship perspective, it is clearly better to collect larger fragments to minimize fragment mortality (Bowden-Kerby 1997, 2001; Raymundo and Maypa 2004; Okubo et al. 2005; Forsman et al. 2006).”
