Abstract:

Reef restoration approaches are rapidly advancing to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function under a changing climate. Harnessing natural ecological processes could provide a strategy for bolstering reef resistance and resilience to safeguard reefs against future climate impacts. However, establishing the feasibility of utilising key natural factors to enhance the efficacy of restoration practices is currently an unresolved first step. Thus, the goal of this thesis was to advance restoration approaches by assessing factors for enhancing reef resistance or resilience in the context of coral selection, propagation and planting, to better guide restoration frameworks accessible to a diverse range of reef stakeholders.
