• Propagation of the threatened staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis: methods to minimize the impacts of fragment collection and maximize production (2010, background): “One of the first choices researchers encounter is whether to collect a single or few large fragments or several small fragments (Rinkevich 2000).”
• Investigating fragment size for culturing reef-building corals (Porites lobata and P. compressa) in ex situ nurseries (2006, background): “The latter options have the added benefits of providing a nearly unlimited supply of source material, with minimal impact, while preserving the genetic diversity of the source population (Rinkevich, 2000, 2005; Delbeek, 2001).”
• Strategies for Gardening Denuded Coral Reef Areas: The Applicability of Using Different Types of Coral Material for Reef Restoration (2001, background): “To alleviate mechanical degradation, Rinkevich (1995, 2000) has proposed a two-step restoration protocol termed “gardening of denuded reefs,” which is based on the in situ mariculture of coral colonies in protected underwater nurseries.”
• Steps in the construction of underwater coral nursery, an essential component in reef restoration acts (2006, background): “As a result, the principles underlining reef restoration measures have become part of the many ill-defined issues of this discipline (Edwards and Clark 1998; Rinkevich 2000).”
• Fixed and suspended coral nurseries in the Philippines: Establishing the first step in the “gardening concept” of reef restoration (2008, methodology): “Establishing this ecological discipline will generate approved technologies for better use of existing coral reefs worldwide (Risk, 1999; Rinkevich, 2005a, 2000, 2006).”
• Coral Transplantation: Regeneration and Growth of Acropora Fragments in a Nursery (2003, background): “In artificial transplantation, exactly how to best arrange fragments, which are of course much smaller in size than whole colonies, is critical to their survival and growth rates (Guzman 1991; Custodio & Yap 1997; Oren & Benayahu 1997; Franklin et al. 1998; Rinkevich 2000).”
• Coral propagation: a review of techniques for ornamental trade and reef restoration (2017, methodology): “Scleractinian species can be fragmented successfully with the use of wire cutters (Rinkevich 2000; Shafir et al. 2001, 2003; Okubo et al. 2005, 2007; Vijayavel & Richmond 2012; Shafir & Rinkevich 2013; Fig.”
• Advances in Breeding and Rearing Marine Ornamentals (2011, background): “The use of off-shore coral propagation structures is now also widely used by commercial enterprises, although these techniques were previously developed to help in the restoration of coral reefs (Rinkevich 1995, 2000).”
