Coral diseases and water quality threaten restoration efforts

91% Informative
Coral diseases, particularly in the Caribbean , have caused major declines in coral populations, especially affecting staghorn ( Acropora cervicornis) and Elkhorn (A. palmata) corals.
Coral restoration programs aim to restore these once-abundant coral species, but the effectiveness is threatened by multiple stressors, including increases in disease frequency and nutrient pollution caused from runoff from land-based activities.
