Resilience-based management has been widely adopted as an effective approach to incorporate climate change considerations into coral reef management. One key tool in resilience-based management of coral reef ecosystems is coral restoration. Coral reef restoration is a multi-pronged approach, which includes planting nursery-grown corals onto reefs, carefully managing genetics, and ensuring the habitat is suitable for natural recruitment.
