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 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 کاملConservation of coral reefs through active restoration measures: recent approaches and last decade progress.
The scientific discipline of active restoration of denuded coral reef areas has drawn much attention in the past decade as it became evident that this ecosystem does not often recover naturally from anthropogenic stress without manipulation. Essentially, the choices are eitherthe continuous degradation of the reefs or active restoration to encourage reef development. As a result, worldwide rest...
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 کاملEcological solutions to reef degradation: optimizing coral reef restoration in the Caribbean and Western Atlantic
Reef restoration activities have proliferated in response to the need to mitigate coral declines and recover lost reef structure, function, and ecosystem services. Here, we describe the recent shift from costly and complex engineering solutions to recover degraded reef structure to more economical and efficient ecological approaches that focus on recovering the living components of reef communi...
