    A Review of Reef Restoration and Coral Propagation Using the Threatened Genus Acropora in the Caribbean and Western Atlantic

    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE. 88(4):1075–1098. 2012 coRAl Reef pApeR http://dx.doi.org/10.5343/bms.2011.1143 A REVIEW OF REEF RESTORATION AND CORAL PROPAGATION USING THE THREATENED GENUS ACROPORA IN THE CARIBBEAN AND WESTERN ATLANTIC CN Young, SA Schopmeyer, and D Lirman ABSTRACT Coral reef restoration has gained recent popularity in response to the steady decline of corals and the recognition that coral reefs may not be able to recover naturally without human intervention. To synthesize collective knowledge about reef restoration focused particularly on the threatened genus Acropora in the Caribbean and western Atlantic, we conducted a literature review combined with personal communications with restoration practitioners and an online questionnaire to identify the most effective reef restoration methods and the major obstacles hindering restoration success. Most participants (90%) strongly believe that Acropora populations are severely degraded, continue to decline, and may not recover without human intervention. Low-cost methods such as coral gardening and fragment stabilization were ranked as the most effective restoration activities for this genus. High financial costs, the small footprint of restoration activities, and the potential damage to wild populations were identified as major concerns, while increased public awareness and education were ranked as the highest benefits of coral reef restoration. This study highlights the advantages and outlines the concerns associated with coral reef restoration and creates a unique synthesis of coral restoration activities as a complementary management tool to help guide “best-practices” for future restoration efforts throughout the region. Worldwide coral reef degradation has reached a point where local conservation strategies and natural recovery processes alone may be ineffective in preserving and restoring the biodiversity and long-term integrity of coral reefs (Goreau and Hilbertz 2005).

NEMETH, and RICHARD S. APPELDOORN Department of Marine Sciences, University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez, Puerto Rico 00681 ABSTRACT Coral reef fishes use a variety of habitats throughout daily, ontogenetic, and spawning migrations, therefore requiring a suite of habitats to complete their life cycle. The use of multiple habitats by grunts (Haemulidae) and snappers (Lutjanidae) was investigated at Mona Island, a remote island off western Puerto Rico. The objective of this study was to determine if the distribution of three different life stages was random in relation to benthic habitat types. Coral reef fish were sampled throughout all habitat types randomly over a period of six months. For seven species of grunts and snappers median fork length was significantly different by habitat type identifying critical habitats for juveniles distinct from adult habitats. Within a life stage significant differences were observed in fish density by habitat type. Early juvenile grunts and snappers were more abundant in habitats of depths less than 5 m, mainly in rocky shores and seagrass areas with patches of coral or other hard structures. Larger juveniles were significantly more abundant in depths less than 5m in coral dominated habitats. Adults were abundant throughout the habitats of all depth ranges, except for two species Haemulon chrysargyreum and Lutjanus mahogoni, which were limited to shallower habitats.
