Steps in the construction of underwater coral nursery, an essential component in reef restoration acts (2006, background): “…Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Quality Sciences, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Rehovot, Israel as management tools supplementary to the traditional conservation measures (Rinkevich 1995, 2000; Edwards and Clark 1998; Yap 2000; Epstein et al. 2001, 2003; Spieler et al. 2001).”
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).”
Direct seeding of mass-cultured coral larvae is not an effective option for reef rehabilitation (2015, background): “…mortality, including competitive inter - actions with macroalgae (McCook et al. 2001, Birrell et al. 2008, Tebben et al. 2014), sedimentation (Fabricius et al. 2003), and accidental removal by grazing fish or direct predation (Sammarco & Carleton 1981, Rylaarsdam 1983, Vermeij 2006,…”
Propagation of the threatened staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis: methods to minimize the impacts of fragment collection and maximize production (2010, background): “the outplanting of nursery-reared corals to depleted or damaged reefs (e.g., Shafir et al. 2001; Epstein et al. 2003; Rinkevich 2006; Shafir and Rinkevich 2008).”
A Review of Reef Restoration and Coral Propagation Using the Threatened Genus Acropora in the Caribbean and Western Atlantic (2012, background): “Nursery-grown colonies produce a sustainable stock of corals which can then be transplanted to degraded reefs (Rinkevich 1995, 2005, Epstein et al. 2001, 2003, Soong and Chen 2003).”
Investigating fragment size for culturing reef-building corals (Porites lobata and P. compressa) in ex situ nurseries (2006, background): “To address this concern, Rinkevich (1995, 2000) and Epstein et al. (2003) have suggested a “gardening” approach for restoring denuded coral reefs that is analogous to established terrestrial silviculture and reforestationmethods.”
