Note
This Reef Rehabilitation Manual is intended to complement
the Reef Restoration Concepts & Guidelines1 and provide
more detailed hands-on advice, based on lessons-learnt
from previous experience, on how to carry out coral reef
rehabilitation in a responsible and cost-effective manner.
The two booklets should be used together. We build on the
work of many people, notably Maragos (1974), Miller et al.
(1993), Harriott and Fisk (1995), Heeger and Sotto (2000),
Clark (2002), Job et al. (2003), Omori and Fujiwara (2004)
and Precht (2006)2-9, who have provided a considerable
body of advice on restoring reefs (see References). Despite
considerable advances over the last 35 years, coral reef
restoration is still in its infancy as a discipline. A few
rehabilitation projects appear to have been successful at
scales of up to a few hectares; many, perhaps most, have
failed or not met original expectations.
