Coral curator Christina Jayne discusses how coral pyramids will be outplanted at two sites as a restoration and enhancement method to help Oʻahu's reefs.

The National Coral Reef Resilience Strategy will be used to protect reefs around Hawaiʻi, Florida, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, the U.S. Pacific Remote Island Area and other areas.

The first prototype of a concrete block artificial reef will be placed in the ocean off Windward Oʻahu later this year or early next. The $27 million coastal protection project is meant to slow wave energy, reduce impacts to near-shore communities and support a coral reef ecosystem.

In an effort to protect Hawaiʻi's coral reefs, the Maui Nui Marine Resource Council is offering a new workshop about how some soils harm coral reefs. The Conversation talked to project manager Jill Wirt about the program.

Researchers reported encouraging news after charting the growth and survival rates of thousands of corals at reefs in Leeward Maui through two major bleaching events. The Conversation's Maddie Bender shares how the data affects coral restoration.

The parties that damaged coral and live rock near Honolua Bay with a yacht in early 2023 were originally fined $117,000. Now they’re on the hook for $1.8 million.

Researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa successfully implemented artificial intelligence into coral reef conservation. The AI is used to study reef halos.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will fund UH Mānoa up to $25 million over a five-year project to engineer a man-made coral reef ecosystem.
