Assisted fertilization of threatened Staghorn Coral to complement the restoration of nurseries in Southeastern Dominican Republic
Calle-Triviño, Johanna; Cortés-Useche, Camilo; Sellares-Blasco, Rita I.; Arias-González, Jesús Ernesto (2018)Acropora cervicornis and Acropora palmata have declined dramatically in the Caribbean since the early 80’s, and are classified as Critically Endangered Species. To promote their recovery, restoration programs focusing on ... -
Conservation actions and ecological context : optimizing coral reef local management in the Dominican Republic
Cortés-Useche, Camilo; Hernández-Delgado, Edwin A.; Calle-Triviño, Johanna; Sellares-Blasco, Rita I.; Galván, Víctor; Arias-González, Jesús Ernesto (2021)Over the past few decades, coral reef ecosystems have been lost at accelerated rates as a result of global climate change and local stressors. Local management schemes can help improve the condition of coral reefs by ... -
