Although, reef restoration is not a short-term fix for biodiversity decline and should not be considered as a substitute for marine protection and human impacts mitigation, yet this manipulative strategy can contribute to coral survival. As such, coral restoration is intended as a complementary tool to support natural recovery following disturbance in key areas. While conducting active restoration efforts that use locally- and stress- dapted genotypes over the medium to long-term associated with conservation policies and environmental mitigation.
