Mapping innovations in coral restoration to the coral life cycle.
Innovations are categorised (as per the main text) as assisted evolution methods: Targeting coral host (Manipulations targeted at the coral host) through Assisted Gene Flow/Colonisation (AGF/C) using either selective breeding (intra- and intra-hybridisation) via sexual reproduction or translocation of adult (or larval) material; chimeras and re-skinning of adult material; or preconditioning. Targeting host-associated microbes using either experimental evolution or probiotics. Also, biobanking of live adult material or cryopreservation of coral gametes or associated microbes (Cryopreservation and biobanks), as well as in situ nursery- and aquarium-based propagation and grow-out (Propagation and planting).
