Sustainable Coral Reef Restoration
An integrative framework for sustainable coral reef restoration. 'Restoration of coral reef ecosystems as a management aid has accelerated globally in response to ever-degrading reef health under climate change. As of 2021, more than US$0.25 billion has been invested into reef restoration activities that are often established without the necessary sustained operational or financial strategies in place to meet their longer-term measurable ecological or social restoration goals.'
