Ecosystem restoration: Healing blasts from the past

Curr Biol. 2024 Mar 25;34(6):R254-R256. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2024.02.012.

Abstract

Blast fishing reduces coral reefs to fields of rubble. A new study of a project to restore blast-fished reefs reveals rapid recovery of reef carbonate budgets and reef health but highlights that further work is needed to restore coral biodiversity.
