🧵Can marine restoration lead to ecological recovery?

🌊Success is often assessed by short-term survival of transplants, but what about long-term changes in community (trait) composition?

We studied this for a key Mediterranean octocoral. 👇

Active restoration of a long-lived octocoral drives rapid functional recovery in a temperate reef
After a decade, a community with restored red coral nears the functional structure of natural ones.

🌿 The MedRecover team held its annual retreat at Mas El Collell, spending a few days together to share knowledge, present, new innovations and research in our projects.

An inspiring time to connect, learn, and keep working towards marine conservation! Cold, but very happy! ❄️🌊 #MedRecoverTeam

Since 2016, the Coral Trait Database (www.coraltraits.org) has contributed to the advancement of coral reef science globally. However, data on #octocorals —key components of many coral ecosystems— was missing... until NOW. 🎉 The Octocoral Trait Database is here! 👇

📺 Al documental «El mar, en suspens» del programa 30 minuts, els professors Bernat Hereu, Cristina Linares i Mikel Zabala ens parlen sobre la importància de tenir unes reserves marines ben gestionades i vigilades per recuperar els ecosistemes vulnerables.
