“…Marine forests restoration has been generally performed through three methods: transplanting juvenile or adult individuals [69,83,87,89,91], enhancing recruitment potential (by releasing a suspension of gametes/zygotes or installing fertile receptacles in the target area) [62,83,92,93] or artificially supplementing recruitment (culture of embryos/juveniles in laboratory) [83,90,94].…”

“…Cystoseira amentacea var. stricta, a species that forms belts in the exposed infralittoral fringe, was transplanted fixing adult plants with epoxy putty in holes drilled into the rock [69]. Cystoseira compressa, which thrives in both exposed and sheltered shallow waters, was transplanted, in the infralittoral fringe of exposed shores, using the same technique as for Cystoseira amentacea var.…”

“…Cystoseira compressa, which thrives in both exposed and sheltered shallow waters, was transplanted, in the infralittoral fringe of exposed shores, using the same technique as for Cystoseira amentacea var. stricta [58,69] or, in shallow sheltered zones, hooking the base to cubes of cork fitted in the holes of bricks [68]. For this latter species, however, there was a relatively high loss of transplants [68,69], because the morphology of the base of C. compressa made the fixing unstable.…”

For this latter species, however, there was a relatively high loss of transplants [68,69], because the morphology of the base of C. compressa made the fixing unstable. In most of the cited studies, transplantation success was high: more than 70% survival after six months for C. compressa and C. amentacea var.…”

“…More studies are needed to find a non-destructive technique for P. oceanica restoration. Finally, when Cystoseira forests are lost over wide areas, it may be envisaged to couple artificial restoration [19,62,68,69] with conservation and management in MPAs. The aim of this work is to synthesize the conservation perspectives of Cystoseira forests in the Mediterranean Sea.…”

1. The worldwide decline of marine forests, due to human impacts and climate change, emphasizes the need to develop and implement effective and sustainable solutions to restore these endangered habitats and to re-establish the services they provide.2. In this study, the ex situ restoration of Gongolaria barbata (=Treptacantha barbata), a Mediterranean subtidal habitat-forming species of brown seaweed, was for the first time implemented in a marine protected area in the Adriatic Sea. Two restoration efforts were performed in 2019. The first was started in winter, after a marine heatwave that triggered early fertility, and the second in spring, when the species usually reproduces.3. This study aimed to evaluate: (i) the disruptive effects of a thermal anomaly on the reproductive biology and performance in culture of G. barbata; and (ii) the impact of the grazing pressure on juveniles after the outplanting. 4. The first cultivation was more productive than the second, in terms of zygote release and germling growth. To mitigate the low efficiency of the second culture and to avoid prolonged highly demanding maintenance in the mesocosms, the cultivation period was extended outdoors using a structure suspended in the water column.5. The modular frames conceived for outplanting G. barbata proved to be effective because of their easy operability and low cost. Controlling for herbivorous fish had significant positive effects on both juvenile survival and growth.6. The outcomes highlighted that an unpredictable climatic event and fish grazing were major threats that impaired the restoration process of G. barbata. These stressors should be considered when developing plans to implement effective large-scale restoration of canopy-forming macroalgae.

1. Marine forests is a term commonly used for coastal marine habitats formed by dense stands of brown macroalgae, typically consisting of kelp and fucoids. These habitats are highly productive, offer habitat to numerous marine organisms, and support a range of invaluable ecosystem services. Despite their importance, marine forests are declining in many regions around the world as a result of interacting global, regional, and local-scale stressors. Consequently, interest in restoration as a tool to mitigate these declines and reinstate marine forests is growing.2. Recent reviews have provided insights into marine forest restoration; however, for the most part, a synthesis of restoration success is lacking. A meta-analysis and quantitative review of published marine forest restoration efforts was conducted to examine: (i) how restoration affects the abundance and morphology of marine forest species; and (ii) trends in marine forest restoration success.3. The meta-analysis of 25 studies revealed that restoration positively influences the abundance and morphology of marine forest species. The quantitative review of 63 studies demonstrated that taxa and restoration technique were important factors influencing restoration success, and revealed a bias towards the monitoring and reporting of abundance and morphological response variables.The review also highlighted a lack of monitoring and/or reporting of environmental variables at restoration sites, and limited comparative research across environmental contexts and restored species. 4. It is shown that successful marine forest restoration is possible at experimental scales, but that better monitoring and reporting of restoration efforts, alongside increased project durations, could improve our understanding of restoration success at the ecosystem level. Considerations for future marine forest restoration efforts are also provided. It is hoped that the review will advance marine forest restoration efforts, allowing the preservation of these valuable ecosystems and their associated services.
