Reversing coral reef decline requires reducing environmental threats while actively restoring ecological structure and function. A promising restoration approach uses breeding to boost natural recruitment repopulate reefs with genetically diverse communities. Recent advances in predicting spawning, capturing spawn, culturing larvae, rearing settlers have enabled the successful propagation, settlement, outplanting of offspring all world's major regions. Nevertheless, efforts frequently yield...
Coral reefs worldwide are degrading due to climate change, overfishing, pollution, coastal development, coral bleaching, and diseases. In areas where the natural recovery of an ecosystem is negligible or protection through management interventions insufficient, active restoration becomes critical. The Reef Futures symposium in 2018 brought together over 400 reef experts, businesses, civil organizations, galvanized them save identify alternative solutions. highlighted that solutions...
Assisted sexual coral propagation, resulting in greater genet diversity via genetic recombination, has been hypothesized to lead more adaptable and, hence, resilient restored populations compared common clonal techniques. Coral restoration efforts have resulted substantial of 'Assisted Recruits' (i.e., juvenile corals derived from assisted reproduction; AR) multiple species outplanted reefs or held situ nurseries across many locations the Caribbean. These AR provided context evaluate their...

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has caused high mortality of at least 25 species across the Caribbean, with Pseudodiploria strigosa being second most affected in Mexican Caribbean. The resulting decreased abundance and colony density reduces fertilization potential SCTLD-susceptible species. Therefore, larval-based restoration could be great benefit, though precautionary concerns about transmission may foster reluctance to implement this approach We evaluated performance offspring...
Acropora palmata is a foundational yet endangered Caribbean reef-building coral species. The lack of recovery after disease outbreak and low recruitment has led to widespread use fragmentation restore populations. Another option the production sexual recruits (settlers) via assisted reproduction improve genetic diversity depleted populations; however, viability this approach not been tested over long term. In 2011 2012, A. larvae were cultured, settled, raised in an ex-situ nursery. Survival...
