- Coral reefs are severely degraded due to human activities, prompting restoration efforts to improve coral cover and fish communities.
- In a study on Little Cayman Island, researchers found that after 85 days of coral restoration, there were no significant changes in fish biomass, abundance, or species richness.
- The findings suggest that coral restoration may have limited effects on fish populations in well-protected areas, highlighting the need for future programs to consider local ecology and the complex interactions between fish and corals.
