Coral reefs have been increasingly reported as ecosystems in severe "crisis" and decline, with estimates of irreparably damaged reefs to be around 54%, and possible losses of 15--20% more over the next half-century. The urgency to mitigate these declines has increased in recent years as ...

Coral reefs are often referred to as the rainforests of the sea, a testament to their incredible biodiversity. These vibrant underwater ecosystems cover less than 1% of the ocean floor but are home to about 25% of all marine species. This includes a vast array of fish, invertebrates, and ...

Coral reefs occupy only 0.1% of the Earth’s ocean floor yet support 25% of all marine species1. Despite their importance, over the past few decades climate change, overfishing and environmental mismanagement have seriously impacted the coral coverage and diversity of the world’s reefs, with 70...
status of coral reefs globally41. Functional richness captures the roles species perform in an ecosystem by categorizing species based on a combination of key traits (e.g., diet, body size, and mobility), rather than taxonomy. As such, functional richness quantifies the number of unique ...

His sentiments were echoed by Emily Darling, director of coral reefs at the Wildlife Conservation Society, who called the discovery “a bright spot for coral reef survival.” “This shows that there are still environmental conditions where corals can survive and thrive, even potentially through the...

“After every storm, the cost of rebuilding and the loss of property and lives, it is just huge,” Lirman says. “We need to protect our shorelines and nature-based solutions (like) hybrid reefs are one effective, cost efficient way of doing that.” While Lirman hopes his experiment ca...
