New Gel Could Boost Coral Reef Restoration Coral larvae are picky about where they attach and settle down. One of the ways they decide is by “smelling” chemicals in the water that are associated with healthy reefs.

Local coral connections within an atoll reef system underlie reef resilience and persistence The recovery of isolated reef systems is a complex process that is usually associated with the supply of coral larvae from distant reefs (or large-scale connectivity). However, a frequently neglected....
