Forest conservation delivers highly variable coral reef conservation outcomes.
Coral reefs are threatened by human activities on both the land (e.g., deforestation) and the sea (e.g., overfishing). Most conservation planning for coral reefs focuses on removing threats in the sea, neglecting management actions on the land. A more integrated approach to coral reef conservation, inclusive of land-sea connections, requires an understanding of how and where terrestrial conserv...
متن کاملCoral Transplantation as a Reef Conservation Tool - the Singapore Experience
Corals transplanted to Sentosa, an island south of the main island of Singapore, from a reef due for reclamation, were monitored and assessed one year after completion of a massive two-year transplantation exercise. This transplantation exercise was conducted by the Marine Conservation Group of the Nature Society (Singapore). Assessment of the 3m x 3m permanent quadrat showed that 24.29% of tra...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Coral Reef Restoration in Singapore
Since the mid-1960s, Singapore’s coral reefs have been impacted by a variety of anthropogenic disturbances such as coastal development, land reclamation and seabed dredging. Up to 60% of reefs have since been lost, and the remaining ones are more compact and shallow due to chronic sedimentation and unstable bottom rubble that is easily moved about by currents. Since the late 1980s, various atte...
متن کاملEnhancing Coral Reef Resilience through Ecological Restoration: Concepts and Challenges
The combination of environmental and anthropogenic stressors has driven the global decline of coral reefs. Changing demographics of the human population and growing dependence on coral reef resources have necessitated mitigation measures to improve the sustainable use of the reef ecosystem. While management measures are useful in slowing the unprecedented loss of coral reefs, active restoration...
متن کاملArtificial Coral Reefs as a Method of Coral Reef Fish Conservation
2 Biodiversity is an important factor in all healthy ecosystems. Coral reef ecosystems support an incredibly diverse community of fish species. As coral reefs are in decline due to a combination of factors such as climate change and over fishing, the species which are being supported by the reef are at risk. In particular, coral reef fish communities have been shown to be in decline. Coral reef...
