Enhancing 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 کاملComanagement of coral reef social-ecological systems.
In an effort to deliver better outcomes for people and the ecosystems they depend on, many governments and civil society groups are engaging natural resource users in collaborative management arrangements (frequently called comanagement). However, there are few empirical studies demonstrating the social and institutional conditions conducive to successful comanagement outcomes, especially in sm...
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...
متن کاملLinking Social and Ecological Systems to Sustain Coral Reef Fisheries
The ecosystem goods and services provided by coral reefs are critical to the social and economic welfare of hundreds of millions of people, overwhelmingly in developing countries [1]. Widespread reef degradation is severely eroding these goods and services, but the socioeconomic factors shaping the ways that societies use coral reefs are poorly understood [2]. We examine relationships between h...
متن کاملEcological Processes and Contemporary Coral Reef Management
Top-down controls of complex foodwebs maintain the balance among the critical groups of corals, algae, and herbivores, thus allowing the persistence of corals reefs as three-dimensional, biogenic structures with high biodiversity, heterogeneity, resistance, resilience and connectivity, and the delivery of essential goods and services to societies. On contemporary reefs world-wide, however, top-...
