Introduction

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth, providing habitat for thousands of species and supporting the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. However, coral reefs are increasingly threatened by human activities, such as pollution, overfishing, and climate change. As a result, many coral reefs are in decline, with some estimates suggesting that up to 90% of the world’s coral reefs could be lost by 2050.

One promising approach to restoring coral reefs is the use of probiotics. Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that can help to improve the health and resilience of coral reefs. By introducing probiotics into degraded reef ecosystems, researchers hope to promote the growth of healthy coral colonies and enhance the reef’s ability to withstand environmental stressors.

This thesis will explore the potential of probiotics for coral reef restoration, with a focus on their effectiveness, feasibility, and potential impacts on reef ecosystems. By assessing the current state of research on probiotics and coral reefs, this thesis aims to provide insights that can inform future conservation efforts and contribute to the long-term sustainability of coral reef ecosystems.

Thesis Overview

Coral reefs are facing unprecedented threats from human activities, climate change, and other stressors, leading to widespread degradation and loss of biodiversity. In response to these challenges, researchers and conservationists are exploring innovative approaches to restore coral reefs and enhance their resilience.

Probiotics have emerged as a promising tool for coral reef restoration, with the potential to improve the health and vitality of coral colonies, enhance their ability to withstand environmental stressors, and promote the recovery of degraded reef ecosystems. By harnessing the beneficial properties of probiotic microorganisms, researchers hope to support the natural processes that enable coral reefs to thrive and persist in the face of ongoing threats.

This thesis will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on probiotics and coral reef restoration, drawing on a wide range of academic literature, expert opinions, and case studies from around the world. By synthesizing existing knowledge and identifying gaps in understanding, this thesis aims to inform future research, policy, and conservation practices aimed at safeguarding coral reefs for future generations.
