"Coral reefs are much more than just a pretty place to visit. They are among
the world’s richest ecosystems, hosting about a third of all marine species.
These reefs also directly benefit more than a billion people, providing
livelihoods and food security, as well as protection from storms and coastal
erosion.
Without coral reefs, the world would be a much poorer place. So when corals die
or become damaged, many people try to restore them. But the enormity of the
task is growing as the climate keeps warming.
In our new research, we examined the full extent of existing coral restoration
projects worldwide. We looked at what drives their success or failure, and how
much it would actually cost to restore what’s already been lost. Restoring the
reefs we’ve already lost around the world could cost up to A$26 trillion."
